Multiple blasts were reported near the Old Bailey building in central London on Wednesday, February 7. The Old Bailey or Central Criminal Court of England and Wales is a criminal court. The explosions disrupted the electricity supply in the area with many buildings including the Old Bailey reporting power outage. A video of black smoke emanating from a building near the Old Bailey also surfaced online.
Initial reports said that a series of explosions were heard from a building next to the Old Bailey court for about 10 minutes before smoke emerged from the structure. Consequently, the court was evacuated as courtrooms lost electricity following the blasts. One of the key hearing ongoing at the historic court house is of Constance Marten and Mark Gordon who are accused of the killing their own baby.
