Paramedics have thanked people who came to the aid of a collapsed young girl at a trampolining park in Bluewater.

The girl was airlifted to hospital after being taken ill at Gravity Trampoline Park on Sunday morning.

The park posted on its website that it was closed for the rest of Sunday due to "unforeseen circumstances."

The child, who was in a serious condition, is now being treated at Kings College Hospital.

A spokesman from South East Coast Ambulance Service said: "We were called shortly before midday to this location after reports a child had collapsed.

"Ambulance crews attended the scene alongside the air ambulance service. The child, who was in a serious condition, was treated before being airlifted to Kings College Hospital in London.

"We would like to thank everyone who helped at the scene prior to our arrival."

A Kent Police spokeswoman confirmed the girl had suffered "a medical episode" while at the park.

Gravity Trampoline Parks declined to comment when contacted by News Shopper.
