Police have been spotted in 'hazmat' suits.
Police expect the cordon to be lifted this evening Two people have been hospitalised in Bath with breathing difficulties and itchy eyes after a suspicious woman approached them with a bag. Police donned hazmat suits as they responded to what some fear is a chemical attack on Stall Street, in Bath city centre around 2.30pm today. Witnesses say some members of the public had been stripped of their clothing and placed in hazmat suits in the back of ambulances.
Both the individuals ‘feeling unwell’ were able to talk to paramedics who attended the scene, a police spokesperson said. ‘We’re not aware of any further reports of people feeling unwell’, Avon & Somerset Police said in a statement. ‘As a precaution, emergency personnel are wearing protective clothing. ‘We are working with South Western Ambulance Service and Avon Fire And Rescue Service at the scene and have well-rehearsed plans for responding to such incidents.
