(35 minutes later)
A pupil has been airlifted to hospital following an unexplained "medical emergency" at a school in Reading. A 12-year-old boy has been airlifted to hospital after he was seriously injured and collapsed in a school playground in Reading, police have said.
Blessed Hugh Faringdon Catholic School confirmed it happened on the premises, but has declined to give further details. Blessed Hugh Faringdon Catholic School confirmed there was a "medical emergency" at about 13:00 BST.
The ambulance service said the air ambulance arrived at the school just before 13:00 BST. Police said detectives were investigating as it was believed the victim was assaulted.
A police cordon is in place around the playground but details about exactly what happened remain unclear. An 11-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm (GBH) and is currently in custody.
The BBC has approached South Central Ambulance Service and Thames Valley Police for a comment. The victim is in a stable condition in hospital, police said.
Det Insp Nick Watts appealed for any witnesses or anyone with mobile phone footage of the incident to come forward.
"I would like to reassure the community, particularly the young people who may have witnessed this incident or have been affected by it, that we take incidents of this nature seriously and are in the early stages of conducting a thorough investigation and they will be offered support," he added.
