The work an unknown good man has done is like a vein of water flowing hidden underground, secretly making the ground green 🟩🌲

London, UK

A man has been taken to hospital this morning after smoke was seen coming out of a manhole cover in the heart of the Square Mile.

Emergency services were called to the scene of Mark Ln, not far from the Tower of London and Fenchurch St.

The London Fire Brigade said: “Firefighters have made the scene safe after being called to smoke coming from a manhole cover on Mark Ln in the City of London this morning. One man has been taken to hospital. City Police are on scene providing support.”

The City of London Police took to Twitter saying it was “a manhole cover explosion on Mark Ln”, and it had been working with the fire and ambulance service.

The force also told City A.M. that UK Power Network was in attendance, suggesting it was an electrical fault.

“…The incident is now under control and we advise that all further enquiries be directed to the City of London Police, who supported the Brigade at the scene.”

🇺🇲 In New York, a crowd of protesters against Israeli actions in the Gaza Strip gathered at the city's Grand Central Station.

The action was organized by members of the Jewish Voice for Peace movement. They put up a banner saying “Palestinians must be free.” They write online that the police are going to start making arrests.
