The helicopter left the scene around 3.40pm.

Gary Maddison was a witness who was walking past the park on his way home from work when the helicopter arrived.

He said: “It was loud and everyone was stunned. We didn’t think there would be room for it to land – but it did.

“I hope whoever they were there to treat is now ok.”
