Three ambulances called after naked man is found in middle of the road

In what has been called a ‘selfish and avoidable’ incident, a male was located in the middle of a road having been to a house party in Horndean, according to Hampshire Constabulary’s Roads Policing Unit.

Posting about the incident on social media, the unit said the man had ‘dropped acid and suffered a bad trip’.

Three ambulances from South Central Ambulance Service were called to the scene.

Current government guidelines forbid people from being in groups of more than two people, due to the coronavirus outbreak.

These social distancing policies have been put in place to reduce the strain on the NHS, which is fighting back against the pandemic.

The policing unit says ‘enquiries are continuing’ and an outcome is ‘still being determined’.

Police are handing out fines for those who ignore social distancing guidelines, according to the National Police Chief's Council.
