A CONSTRUCTION worker was airlifted to hospital after falling from scaffolding.

The man, who is in his 30s, was working 15ft (5m) from the ground on an Alkan Properties housing development, in Glentrammon Road, Green Street Green, on Friday.

A London Ambulance Service spokesman said: "We were called at 8am. The man didn't have any visible injuries but he had pain in his legs."

He was taken to the Royal London Hospital in east London by air ambulance.

Alan Brook, of Sevenoaks-based Alkan Properties, said: "He was not seriously hurt. He was discharged from hospital the same day after a scan and was at work on another site on Monday."
