POLICE cordoned off a block of flats in Bournemouth today after a man was found in ‘distress’.

Officers were called to Stirling Court on Richmond Park Road, Charminster, at 6.10am and a spokesman said investigations are underway to establish what happened to the man.

The large block of flats was sealed off with police tape trailing around the grounds and over a side gate.

A police officer was stationed at the entrance to the driveway.

Residents said they had been told there had been an assault but knew nothing more about the incident.

Richmond Park Road, Bournemouth, by a member of the public.

“At the scene a man was found in distress and subsequently taken to hospital. 

“At this time no further information is available.”
