A staff member was seen in tears after a boy was seriously injured in a "freak weather phenomena."
The nine-year-old was airlifted to hospital after the inflatable 'zorb' ball he was in was carried into the air by a gust of wind at Southport Food and Drink Festival on Sunday. Merseyside Police today confirmed the boy remains in a serious but stable condition in hospital after suffering multiple injuries.
Paul Holmes, from Southport, was among the festivalgoers who rushed to help the boy after watching the incident unfold shortly before 2pm. The 43-year-old said one of the staff members from the inflatable business was in tears following the incident.
