The incident occurred early Thursday morning in south London, leading to a partial lockdown of Croydon University Hospital.

A woman and two Metropolitan Police officers were hospitalized after being exposed to a chemical substance in south London.
The incident occurred when the woman, who had ingested poison, was taken to Croydon University Hospital.
Safety cordons and road closures were established around Mayday Hospital, but the hospital remained open to patients.
