The Metropolitan Police have arrived at Brompton Road in Westminster following reports of a possible chemical spillage. The police said that cordons have been set up around the location, while experts are trying to determine the nature of the substance.

There are no reports of any injuries so far. The police stated that they are not treating the incident as terror related. A video has surfaced online purportedly showing traffic being redirected to nearby streets as police are working in the cordoned area.

Police later reported that the roadblocks have been lifted, while the cordons around the area of the incident remain in place, with officers continuing to investigate. Reuters reported, citing a spokesperson for London's ambulance service, that one person has been taken to hospital as result of the incident after being treated at the site, but the information is yet to be confirmed by the Metropolitan Police.

According to Twitterians, the purported spillage took place outside Harrods, one of London’s most famous department stores.
