++CLIENS PLEASE NOTE: THIS VIDEO HAS BEEN BLEEPED++

A man miraculously escaped serious injury last Sunday when he was swept off a bridge by massive waves in the Bahamas.

A dramatic video of the incident showed Stephen Higgs climbing on rocks next to the Glass Window Bridge when he was struck by two waves.

When the first wave drenched him, Higgs tried run to safety but was hit by an even bigger wall of white water, which carried him off the rocks and over the other side of the bridge.

He was found on the rocks below with a broken arm and covered in deep lacerations.

Police helped the bloodied man to the top where his wife was waiting for him and took him to a local hospital.

The bridge was closed after strong winds and waves reaching 40ft were forecast.
