Dozens of youngsters were involved in a fight on Margate beach this afternoon, with beach visitors watching as the air ambulance landed.

Around 50 people were involved in what police called a "disturbance", but earlier reports of a stabbing have been discounted.

A police statement said: "Police were alerted at 5.05pm to reports of a disturbance on Margate beach involving about 50 young people.

"One teenage boy has been taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Officers are investigating the incident."
