Emergency services were called to Calne High Street this afternoon following a medical incident.
Wiltshire Police said officers supported colleagues from the South Western Ambulance Service at the scene in Wood Street at around 1.30pm on Tuesday 5th May.
The High Street was closed while emergency services responded, with police, ambulance and fire crews all in attendance. An air ambulance was also called to the scene.
An adult man was given urgent medical treatment at the scene before being taken to hospital for further care.
Police have confirmed there are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances and there is no threat to the public.
Emergency services had cordoned off part of the town centre, with members of the public asked to avoid the area while the incident was dealt with.
Witnesses reported a large emergency response, including multiple vehicles and a temporary road closure.
Kingsbury Green Academy temporarily held students in lessons after becoming aware of the incident at around 2.50pm, while staff sought confirmation from police on whether it was safe for pupils to leave.
The school said that by 3.00pm it had been confirmed the situation was a medical emergency with no risk to students, and pupils were dismissed shortly after, with additional staff on hand to provide support.
The school added it was “very proud” of how sensibly and maturely students responded.
