Mr Khan said the scene was full of police cars, firefighters, and paramedics.

He said: "I just can't believe it. I've never seen anything like this. I've been up all night - my head is spinning."

Gas systems were being disconnected and scaffolding crews were at the scene amid concerns the building was structurally unsafe, said Mr Khan.
