An air ambulance landed in a field after being scrambled to a medical incident.

Medics landed on Bab's Hill in Canterbury – between Spring Lane and St Martin’s Hill – shortly after 3.30pm today.

The helicopter took off at about 3.50pm before circling around the city and relanding at the same spot.

It then departed again shortly before 4.30pm and headed towards London.

KentOnline understands paramedics were called to a medical incident at a home on the Spring Lane estate.

An ambulance service spokesperson said as the incident was in relation to a private address, they could not share any details due to patient confidentiality.
