ENCINITAS, Calif. — Two men apparently fell from a cliff above a beach near San Diego on Wednesday while they were playing Pokemon Go, according to KSWB.
The men were playing the game in Encinitas when they fell more than 75 feet to the beach below. According to officers, the men got distracted while trying to catch Pokémon.
Crews at the scene used a rope to rescue one of the men. Neither man was seriously injured.
The game was released on July 7 and has been downloaded over 10 million times to Android and Apple devices.
