Six people were evacuated from flats as emergency services dealt with reports of an "unknown substance" leaking from a garage in Islington this morning.

London Fire Brigade (LFB) was called to a block of flats on College Cross shortly after 8.30am on Friday, June 10.

College Cross was cordoned off near the junction with Liverpool Road, as firefighters, police and paramedics attended the scene.
