It comes after paramedics from South Central Ambulance Service attended a call in Stranding Street, Eastleigh, at 5.30pm on Wednesday where they had been falsely informed someone inside was in cardiac arrest.

The hoax call said a 13-year-old girl was in cardiac arrest.

But as they arrived at the property, a series of items were thrown at them leaving the crews ‘extremely shaken’.
