A City Cruises boat collided with the south pier of Tower Bridge this lunchtime. MPS Marine Policing Unit attended the scene and reported that two people were injured. Update 4pm: this has now risen to nine people, according to London Ambulance Service.

The boat docked at St Katharine's pier and one passenger was removed on a stretcher and taken to hospital while the other was treated ashore. Minor damages to the vessel are reported.

Tower Bridge remains open to pedestrians and road traffic.
