The man in the field was found by some people out walking, who called the police for help. The field was quite far from any road so police had to walk from Longford Park across the fields to get to him.

The man was taken by ambulance to hospital for treatment after he was found by police.

Thames Valley Police took to social media to thank the people for their life saving actions.
