Coast Guard medevacs man from cruise ship off North Carolina coast

HATTERAS, N.C. — The U.S. Coast Guard had to medevac a man from a cruise ship off the coast of North Carolina Sunday afternoon.

It happened about 60 miles off the coast of Hatteras.

He was then taken to Vident Medical Center in Greenville, North Carolina.

Officials said the Coast Guard got a call from the captain of the Anthem of the Seas cruise ship saying a passenger on board was showing symptoms of internal bleeding.

A crew from Air Station Elizabeth City used a helicopter to hoist the man, his wife and a doctor from the cruise ship.

Authorities have not released any more information about the man's condition.
