A significant emergency response was launched in Gravesend this afternoon following a serious medical incident involving a child at Pankhurst Place.
At approximately 3:19pm, Kent Police and the South East Coast Ambulance Service (SECAMB) arrived at the scene. Shortly after, the Kent, Surrey & Sussex Air Ambulance landed in the green space between Whitehill Lane and Valley Drive, underscoring the urgency of the situation.
Multiple police vehicles and ambulance crews quickly filled the area, drawing the attention of local residents who were surprised by the dramatic response in this typically quiet residential neighbourhood.
A police spokesperson stated, “Officers attended the scene where they assisted South East Coast Ambulance Service.”
As evening approached, no further information had been released regarding the nature of the incident or the condition of the patient. Emergency services have remained tight-lipped but assured the public that updates will be provided once more details are available.
Local residents, concerned and curious, captured images of the helicopter’s landing. One witness confirmed that a young child was involved in the incident.
