SPECIALIST airborne medics were deployed to the scene of a serious emergency after a fallen man was found badly injured.

The Essex & Herts Air Ambulance was sent to an address in Braintree on February 28 tasked with assisting the East of England Ambulance Service.

Upon arrival the two teams worked collaboratively to optimise the outcome of a male patient in need of medical assistance.

The casualty was eventually transferred to a specialist hospital for further treatment.
