An air ambulance helicopter landed in a park in Yate earlier today. 

At around 12.45pm an incident involving an individual in Yate Shopping Centre's Riverside Complex took place. 

Ambulance crews were called, with a team from the Great Western Air Ambulance Charity landing in the nearby Lye Field Park next to the Ridge housing development.

The critical care team then ran to the riverside complex to deal with the situation outside of Next before an ambulance arrived.

After around an hour, the patient was taken to hospital by the ambulance. The air ambulance took off from the park to move on to their next call.
