Legoland Windsor Resort has issued a statement after a five-month-old boy went into cardiac arrest at the theme park.

The baby remains in critical condition in hospital as police say that the incident took place at around 1pm on Thursday (2 May).

A woman, from Witham, Essex, was arrested the following day (3 May) on suspicion of neglecting a child to cause unnecessary injury.

The 27-year-old has since been released on police bail until 26 July.

Legoland Windsor Resort told LADbible in a statement: “On Thursday (2 May) a young guest was taken ill at LEGOLAND Windsor.

“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.”

“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.
