Almost 30 people have been taken to hospital with breathing difficulties after a “high quantity of chlorine gas” leaked in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in east London.
Around 200 people were evacuated from the Aquatics Centre on Wednesday morning, in what was called a “major incident”.
Ambulance crews took 29 people to hospital and assessed a further 48 at the scene, the majority experiencing minor breathing difficulties.
People could be seen being placed into ambulances while others were wrapped in blankets.
Residents in the area have been asked to close windows and doors.
Dozens of emergency services vehicles and workers were in the area, with surrounding roads cordoned off and members of the public denied access to the park.
The London Ambulance Service said it also sent a helicopter to the scene.
