About 500 people were forced to leave the airport in east London

A suspected chemical incident forced the evacuation of London City Airport, with people needing treatment for breathing difficulties. About 500 people were taken from the east London airport at 16:00 BST after some passengers felt unwell, London Fire Brigade (LFB) said. Ambulance staff treated 26 patients at the scene, taking two to hospital.

The airport was declared "safe" at about 19:00, with police finding what they think might be a CS gas spray. In a statement, the Metropolitan Police said they are not treating the case as "terrorist related".
