Clare Ash, who watched the incident unfold, said: ‘I noticed three ambulances earlier, blocking the street. They were attending a house a few doors down from me.
‘A well-built gentleman, possibly in his 60s, appeared on a stretcher on the cherry- picker, and was lowered to the ground, to a spontaneous cheer from onlooking neighbours.
‘The medics attended to the patient whilst the fire crew packed away their gear, and he was loaded into an ambulance and driven away.’
