A British parkour daredevil shocked bystanders as he pulled off a spectacular jump over a wall and jetty to plunge into a river in Switzerland.
Parkour expert Toby Segar was filmed performing the risky manoeuvre at a docking area on the Rhine in the city of Basel.
The athlete cleared a wall, a flight of stairs and a jetty from a height of around 25ft as stunned onlookers watched on in amazement.

He flips over to plummet feet-first into the cold waters below before resurfacing to swim to dry land.
One astonished onlooker can be heard saying in the background: ‘What the f***?’
Swimming is banned in the section of the Rhine that Segar chose to perform his stunt, and is used as an area for river boats to dock, according to the Basler Zeitung.
