The helicopter was seen landing nearby at the Warre Recreation Ground, forcing a game of football to be suspended.

An eyewitness told KentOnline : "There were two big ambulances, three or four critical care paramedic vehicles, a police car and fire engine outside Ramsgate station.

"Police were holding up blankets to create a temporary shield.

The helicopter circled the area for a while – I assume it was waiting for the police to clear the football pitch."

British Transport Police and the ambulance service have been contacted for comment.
