A man had to be treated by medics after a swarm of wasps stung him in Thetford Forest.

The East Anglian Air Ambulance was called to the scene at about 7.50pm on Sunday.

Medics arrived to find the man, who has been described as ‘young’, to have suffered a serious allergic reaction to the attack.

The man was treated before he was escorted to West Suffolk Hospital while inside a land ambulance.

The air ambulance team said the man’s condition was ‘serious but stable’.
