A family of six has been injured by a lightning strike in a park in the northern German city of Delmenhorst to the west of Bremen.

Two of the injured are in critical condition, a police spokeswoman said on Sunday.

The family - one adult as well as five children and teenagers - had been sitting under a tree in the city's Graftwiesen Park when it was struck by lightning in the afternoon.

During the rescue operation, a child and a teenager were resuscitated. All six family members were taken to hospital.
