An ambulance had arrived at Darley Park to treat a man before the crew became unwell

Three ambulance crew members were taken to hospital after an incident at a park in Derby.

East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS) had been called to Darley Park to help a man who had been taken ill at about 22:15 GMT on Wednesday.

Derbyshire Police said the crew "began to feel unwell" while transporting the patient, which was "believed to have been as a result of a substance found at the scene".

No serious illnesses were detected.

The man initially taken ill remains in hospital in a stable condition.

A cordon put in place around the area of the park where he was found was lifted on Friday.
