Worthing incident: Police issue statement after flat taped off amid discovery of blood

Police officers were pictured outside a flat in Christchurch Road this afternoon (Monday, June 19), with scenes of crime officers (SOCO) appearing to scour for clues.

It reportedly came after blood was discovered in and outside a property.

“This was a medical incident,” a police spokesperson said.

"A section of the pavement was temporarily taped off to ensure there was no evidence of any criminality, and a man has been taken to hospital as a precaution.”
