An air ambulance was scrambled to a school playing field in Tunbridge Wells after a 12-year-old boy was knocked off his bike by a car.

The accident happened in Shirley Gardens just before 5pm, and the boy was taken to Tunbridge Wells Hospital with leg injuries.

The helicopter landed at The Skinners' School in St Johns Road just before 5.30pm, and an ambulance was also called.

The same air ambulance had been called to the town at around 4.30pm after a man's body was found in Upper Grosvenor Road.
