A hoax call is thought to have sparked a major emergency response to a main road in Tunbridge Wells this morning.

Police, fire crews and the ambulance service were all called to Camden Road in the town at around 8.30am.

A cordon was put in place for around half an hour before being lifted later in the morning.

A police spokeswoman said: "Officers were called to an address in Camden Road, Tunbridge Wells at 8.20am on November 25 with concerns regarding a distressed man.

"Enquiries were made in the area and it is believed the call was a hoax."

Witnesses reported seeing at least two fire engines, two police cars and two ambulances in the area and a large number of onlookers from nearby shops.

Kent Fire and Rescue Service said it was called to assist South East Coast Ambulance Service but left just after 9am.

More as we get it.
