A mountain biker was rescued from Signal Hill yesterday night after falling off his bike on a trail and injuring his shoulder.

Two fire crews from Dunedin Central and Willowbank and St John were at the scene and firefighters and members of the public helped stretcher the man up the hill from the Big Easy track to the car park.

Emergency services were called shortly before 8pm, as heavy rain set in, and left about 8.40pm.

Willowbank Fire Station Senior Station Officer Ant O'Neill said the man was in a stable condition when he was taken by ambulance to Dunedin Hospital, and fire crews were grateful to the ''couple of helpers'' who assisted.
