A "terrified" elderly man who was lying on the floor after a fall was told his wait for an ambulance would be seven to 12 hours.
An eyewitness, who asked not to be named, said she was heading into The Oval Leisure Centre on Old Chester Road, Bebington, to go swimming when she saw an elderly man lying on the ground surrounded by people. After asking what had happened, staff told the woman the man was walking his dog along the footpath when it pulled and knocked him onto the floor.
It's believed he fell at around 4pm on Tuesday, August 2, and people who came to his aid had called for an ambulance. By the time the eyewitness came out of the leisure centre, the man was still lying on the floor.
