The Mountain Rescue Service was called out after a hiker was suddenly attacked and collapsed on a trail in Powys on the Story Arms Trail, which runs past the peaks of Pen-y-Fan and Corn Dee.

The man was unconscious for about five minutes. He was examined by a random doctor on the spot, who called an ambulance. When the rescuers were about to leave, they received a clarification that the victim had regained consciousness and was going down with his family members.

One of the rescue team members, who arrived at the starting point of the route, found the tourist, led him down and handed him over to the medics. The rest of the specialists involved were then called off.
