Bristol nail bar on lockdown as officials in hazmat suits storm building

Emergency services officials in hazmat suits stormed a nail bar in Bristol after a medical incident.

Pictures from the scene show multiple emergency service personnel inside Top Nails on Sandy Park Road, Brislington, this morning.

It has since been confirmed that ambulance crews were responding to a report of a man with breathing problems, Bristol Live reports.

Ambulance crews, an air ambulance crew and police were deployed to the salon.

It is unclear at this stage why officials were wearing hazmat suits.

A firearms team was also spotted on the scene.

A statement from the ambulance service says: "South Western Ambulance Service was called at 10.54am today to a report of a man with breathing problems at an address on Sandy Park Road in Bristol.

"Multiple resources were allocated, including the air ambulance.

Ambulance crews have now left the scene.

Traffic has not been stopped while the incident is dealt with, and the pavement is still accessible to members of the public.

Avon and Somerset Police told The Mirror: "Police attended Sandy Park Road at around 11.10am today to assist the ambulance service after a person suffered a medical emergency.

"There are not thought to be any suspicious circumstances.

"The person has now been conveyed to hospital."
