A man has been taken to hospital after reports of disorder in Swindon.

Wiltshire Police said they had responded to an incident on Frobisher Drive, Walcot, at about 12:45 BST.

They confirmed that a man in his 30s had been taken to hospital as a precautionary measure, but that he is not believed to be in a life-threatening condition.

Police said earlier they were conducting house-to-house enquiries to "try to establish what happened", with a spokesperson later adding the incident appeared to be medical, rather than related to disorder.
