Emergency services close road after 'minor explosion' in building

Emergency services have closed off a road in east Manchester after a 'minor explosion' in a building.

Police, paramedics and fire crews rushed to the scene on Cornwall Street in Openshaw this morning. Police said a gas leak 'gathered in the roof of a building'.

An industrial machine was turned on, so the gas caused a 'minor explosion'. No-one was injured or taken to hospital from the scene.
