A SOHAM man was rushed to hospital after he stopped breathing.

The Magpas Helimedix team were called out to the town along with East of England ambulance crews shortly before 7.30pm on Monday night following reports that a man was having trouble breathing.

A spokesman for Magpas said: “A man in his 40s was having severe trouble with his breathing. The Helimedix sedated and then anaesthetised the patient, before accompanying him to Addenbrooke’s Hospital in a land ambulance.”

On arrival at Cambridge, the man’s condition was described as stable by doctors.
