LUDINGTON, Mich. — A man is in critical but stable condition after being pulled from the water at a Ludington beach Wednesday evening.

Emergency personnel responded to the incident shortly after 5:30 p.m. at Stearns Beach, according to the Ludington Police Department (LPD).

We’re told the caller reported that a man was drowning and had been struggling in the water for about five minutes.
