An air ambulance was called to the University of East Anglia campus after a person was found unresponsive within its grounds.

Passers-by called emergency services at about 8am on Saturday, May 28.

An East Anglian Air ambulance landed at the scene near to the River Yare boardwalk and treated the person.

They received treatment and were then taken to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.

It is thought they had regained consciousness before being taken to hospital.
