A MAN who suffered a 'drugs-related incident' at a dance music festival near Corfe Castle at the weekend has reportedly left hospital.

Police and paramedics confirmed they were called to Dorset's On The Bus Festival in the early hours of Sunday morning.

South Western Ambulance say they attended at 4.37am and treated a man who was experiencing breathing difficulties, before taking him to Poole Hospital.

Organisers, who have condemned any drug use at their event, told the Echo the man - who was working as a trader at the festival headlined by Welsh rap group Goldie Lookin Chain - had taken LSD and had since contacted them to let them know he'd been discharged from hospital.

Festival organiser Robert Burnell also said the individual would not be welcome at the festival again.

Mr Burnell explained: "A trader came on site and brought with him a quantity of LSD in a bottle.

"He took far too much and had a bad trip, to which an ambulance was called. He has since been dealt with. He is out of hospital, he is at home, he is perfectly fine.

"We've spoken to him, he feels like a complete idiot. The guy is safe and well, he had a bad trip after taking too much of his own acid."

The On the Bus Festival takes place at a 'secret location' neat Corfe Castle and numbers of revellers are limited to 400.

The event, now in its fourth year, also boasted performances from Pronghorn, Ed Cox and Bentley Rhythm Ace.

A poetry slam, open mic sessions and more than 80 hours of DJ's from Bournemouth club nights also feature.

Mr Burnell added: "This one guy was supposed to be there working as a trader and basically has been a complete idiot and will not be coming back to our event.

"This is something that we work very hard to try to prevent. We have procedures in place to stop things like this happening.

"Our welfare team did a great job in looking after him until the ambulance got there. He is safe and well."

Dorset Police confirmed they also attended the festival site and that a man had suffered a drugs-related incident which was not thought to be life-threatening.
