Haywards Heath bystanders who filmed man collapsed outside Lloyds Bank branded ‘heartless’

Ambulance crews attended after reports that a man had collapsed outside Lloyds Bank last Tuesday (February 18).

The Middy understands that the man later died, though no official confirmation has been received.

Sergeant Allan Philip of Mid Sussex Police said: “On Tuesday, February 18, while police and members of the public were assisting ambulance crews dealing with a person in need of urgent medical treatment, outside Lloyds Bank in Haywards Heath it was clear that some individuals, both youths and adults were seen to be filming what was going on.

“While of course this is not illegal, it clearly shows complete disregard and lack of respect and compassion.

“Those individuals need to take a step back, look at their selfish and heartless actions in light of what was going on at the time.
