'A number of injuries' are said to have been inflicted, although at this point, that exact number isn't clear. No fatalities have been announced, as of the time of publishing this article.
Londonist is not a news site as such, and to keep on top of what's happening, we recommend the extensive coverage on such sites as The Guardian.
