Emergency services outside Liverpool Women’s Hospital in Liverpool, England on Sunday.
At least one person has been killed and another injured in a vehicle explosion outside the Women’s Hospital in Liverpool, northern England, police said on Sunday. Anti-terrorism police in Britain were investigating the blast.
Police were called to report an explosion in a taxi at Liverpool Women’s Hospital on Sunday morning.
Police said they were keeping an “open mind” about the cause of the blast, but counter-terrorism police were leading the investigation as a precaution.
“As far as we understand, the car involved was a taxi, which was pulled over to the hospital shortly before the explosion,” Merseyside Police said in a statement.
“Work is still underway to establish what happened and it may take some time to be in a position to confirm anything.”
