Emergency services have rushed to a busy street in Liverpool City Centre, with multiple vehicles at the scene. Police, fire engines and ambulances are all present on Old Hall Street.
There are at least half a dozen ambulances, rapid response vehicles, and also two ambulance 'incident response units', the Liverpool Echo reports. The nearby Radisson Blue hotel has been evacuated. The back of the hotel is cordoned off, with several fire engines parked up. One guest said: "The alarms were all going off. they tried to turn it off but they couldn’t get it off so everybody’s out here now in the cold I think we’ve been out now more than an hour. I don’t know what they are doing. I was sleeping when I heard the alarm. I didn’t take my phone my jacket even my socks. I was just running all the way down."
