A PCSO from Burnham police performed CPR on the casualty before the ambulances arrived.

South Western Ambulance spokeswoman Melodie Juste confirmed: "We sent two resources to the High Street at 2.25pm."

"Crews performed CPR at the scene and a 70 year-old male patient was taken to Weston General Hospital."
