EMERGENCY services have been called to a supermarket to help a man having a 'medical incident'.
A witness said she saw an ambulance, three police cars and a police van parked near the entrance of Tesco in Dorchester today.
Officers said they received a call at 12.03pm on Sunday by the ambulance service to help clear the cricket pitch on Weymouth Avenue in Dorchester for an air ambulance.
A game between Dorset County Cricket Club and Buckinghamshire CCC was said to be delayed by 30 minutes to allow the air ambulance to land.

A spokesman for Dorset Police told the Echo: "There has been a medical incident involving a local man in his early 60s.
"We are facilitating the closure of the cricket ground so that the air ambulance can take the male to hospital."
