Massive Emergency Response at Hackney Property Turns Out to Be Hoax
Police, fire crews, paramedics, and even the London Air Ambulance have been rushed to a property on the Portland Estate in Hackney following alarming reports of multiple serious injuries.
Four Reportedly Unconscious After ‘Gassing’ Incident
The drama unfolded around 8.20pm on Friday when emergency services responded to claims that several people had been exposed to a gas, leaving four reportedly not breathing. The incident allegedly involved a parent, though no ages have been confirmed.
Road Closures and Full Emergency Deployment
Crews including the specialist “Hart” ambulance team were deployed to the scene, alongside multiple ambulances and senior medical officers. A significant road closure has been put in place as police investigate the circumstances.
Met Police Confirm Hoax Call
A Met Police spokesman confirmed the situation:
Police were called by the London Ambulance Service at 7.48pm on Friday, 6 August following concerns for the welfare of residents at an address on Seven Sisters Road, N4. Emergency services attended. No one was found injured. At this stage, the incident is being treated as a hoax call.”
This dramatic scramble highlights the dangers of malicious emergency calls that waste vital resources and cause panic in the community.
