A “disturbance” in Bournemouth has resulted in five people being taken to hospital. Emergency services responded to the scene on Meyrick Road in the Lansdowne area of the town centre at around 3:00pm GMT, with three air ambulances and five crews of paramedics sent to the scene. The South Western Ambulance Service announced that five people had been taken to hospital as a result of the incident, with one victim airlifted to Southampton General hospital due to serious but not life-threatening injuries. Dorset Police have confirmed that three people have been arrested in relation to the matter.
Two individuals have been taken into custody for wounding with intent, while the third was arrested on suspicion of assault by beating. As a result of the incident, Meyrick Road has been cordoned off and police teams are currently conducting reassurance patrols in the area. While the investigation is ongoing, authorities have yet to release further details about what exactly occurred.
The incident has prompted a response from local authorities and officials, who have yet to elaborate on public safety precautions to be taken. This worrying incident serves as a reminder of the need for authorities to be adequately prepared and equipped to handle such disruptive and potentially deadly situations, and highlights the importance of collaboration between emergency services to effectively manage crises. Authorities will continue to investigate the incident in the coming days in order to bring those responsible to justice.
