Candyman party: multiple ambulances called

Paramedics are called six times to a Gold Coast party for Travis Beynon, aka the Candyman on Saturday night. 7 News Gold Coast

Mr Beynon announced he was throwing a Seven Deadly Sins party on Instagram on November 16, but not all of the party-goers lasted the night.

Paramedics treated a 23-year-old woman who had been bitten by white tail spider, but did not take her to hospital after she said she would seek medical attention by herself in the morning.
