A London Ambulance Service (LAS) spokeswoman said:"We were called at 8:02am to reports of an incident on Hartley Down, Purley.

"We sent an ambulance crew to the scene.

"We checked over a patient at the scene but did not take them to hospital." 

Firefighters attended about 20 incidents related to Storm Doris between 8am and 11am this morning.

A London Fire Brigade spokeswoman said: “Firefighters are always on hand should any buildings, hoardings or scaffolding be left in a precarious position and posing a risk to life because of high winds.

“To help stay safe during windy weather people should always clear gardens, balconies and window sills of anything that could be blown away.

“They should also take extra care if they venture outside and be careful using candles in the case of a power cut.”
