Legoland Windsor has issued a statement after a five-month-old baby went into cardiac arrest on its premises.

The incident occurred on May 2, and a 27-year-old woman from Witham in Essex was subsequently arrested on suspicion of neglecting a child.

Investigating officer Detective Constable Zoe Eele, of Thames Valley Police's Child Abuse Investigation Unit, said: "We are investigating a distressing incident involving a very young child at Legoland Windsor earlier this week.

"Firstly, our thoughts are with the family of the boy who is in a critical condition in hospital after suffering a cardiac arrest.

"We are supporting them as best we can at this extremely difficult time.

"We are working closely with the team at Legoland Windsor Resort, but would like to speak to anyone who may have information about this incident, specifically anyone who was queueing for the Coastguard HQ boat ride between around 11.30am and 12.45pm.

"Get in touch either by calling 101 or via our website, quoting reference number 43240202786.

“Alternatively, you can provide information anonymously to independent charity Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555111, or via its website.”

The statement reads: "We are extremely grateful to medically trained members of the public who provided immediate care, alongside our resort first aid team, until the emergency services arrived.

"The guest left the resort in the ambulance for further treatment.

"We'd like to thank the emergency services for their swift response, and our guests for their cooperation.

"We will continue to support Thames Valley Police with their ongoing investigation."
