A man has gone missing in Sydney after taking a plunge into the Nepean River. The incident occurred earlier today at Nortons Basin in Mulgoa, prompting the arrival of emergency services at around 11am. According to a witness, the man had jumped into the water from a nearby cliff and had not resurfaced. Concerned for his well-being, a member of the public immediately alerted the authorities.

A search operation is currently underway, with multiple agencies involved in the effort. The NSW Police, along with the State Emergency Service's swift water rescue team, Fire and Rescue NSW, NSW Ambulance, and a PolAir helicopter are all working together to locate the missing man. The situation is being closely monitored and updates will be provided as soon as any new information becomes available.

Initial reports suggest that the man, believed to be in his 60s, had been fishing prior to his disappearance. It is believed that he had mentioned to his partner that he wanted to take a dip in the river. However, when he failed to resurface, his partner immediately raised the alarm. The exact circumstances surrounding the incident are still unclear, and authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward.
