Scenes of Crime Officers (SOCO) have been pictured, alongside Sussex Police officers and guards, on Marine Parade this afternoon (Saturday, December 17).
It comes after a 42-year-old man from Worthing was arrested and taken into custody following a large-scale emergency response – involving police officers, paramedics and firefighters – this morning.
An air ambulance also landed on Worthing beach. Watch video footage and see more photos from the scene here.
A Sussex Police spokesperson said: “Enquiries are ongoing and we have no further information at this time.”
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service has also issued a statement, citing a ‘medical incident’.
A spokesperson said: “At 10.57am this morning we were called to support South East Coast Ambulance Service with a medical incident on Marine Parade, Worthing. We left the scene at 12.49pm."
The road remained partially blocked eastbound at West Street at 2pm but has since fully reopened.
