Air ambulance in Halifax: This is why police and an air ambulance were spotted in Halifax today

The helicopter drew a crowd of people when it stopped on Savile Park Moor, near Manor Heath Park, just before 4pm.

Two police cars were also parked up by the moor and several police officers were on the moor by the helicopter.

One officer told the Courier the air ambulance was there to pick up crew, and police had been asked to help make sure the area was clear of people for landing and taking off again.
