AN AIR ambulance was called after a man was stung by a wasp 

A man was reportedly stung by a wasp in Pride Place at around 4pm on September 9, prompting an attendance by Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance.

He received treatment at a nearby hospital after being checked over by paramedics.

A spokesperson for Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance said: "We attended an incident in Wareham yesterday reported as an adult male who had been stung.

"Our critical care team assisted on scene, before the patient was conveyed to hospital by our South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust colleagues in a road ambulance.

"The team we provided consisted of a doctor and specialist practitioner in critical care, both of whom specialise in pre-hospital emergency medicine.

"The aircraft was crewed as usual, by a pilot and co-pilot."
