UPPERMILL found itself at the centre of a large emergency services response following an early morning incident.
Several police, fire service and ambulance vehicles descended on the village’s High Street on Monday, September 8.
Passers-by looked on bemused as blue lights and sirens dominated the scene, without obvious signs of why they were there.
Now it has been established the response was to reports of a man falling down a slope between Ladcastle Road and Den Lane at about 7.40am.
A spokesperson for North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) told Saddleworth Independent: “We were called to help a man who had fallen down a slope between Den Lane and Ladcastle Road.
“Following his rescue, he was taken to hospital.”
A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service added: “We were called just before 8am by Greater Manchester Police and assisted them and NWAS with a concern for welfare incident.”
