However when fire crews arrived, it was revealed an unknown substance had been released and up to six people had inhaled it.

A number of resources from the emergency services were sent to the scene.

Paramedics treated several people and while the substance has not been identified, a spokesman for West Midlands Ambulance Service said it may have been CS gas.
