A woman has been taken to hospital after police were called to deal with a suspect package at premises in central London.
BBC Home Affairs correspondent Daniel Sandford said what was thought to be a “letter bomb” was found at the Capita building in Victoria Street, Victoria.
Bomb disposal experts are at the scene. London Ambulance said the female employee had suffered minor injuries.
The main road outside the building was closed off with a cordon set up.
The scene is just 200 yards from Scotland Yard’s headquarters.
A police spokesman said: “We were called at around 0940 this morning to reports of a suspect package at a business address in Victoria Street.
“A female employee has been taken to hospital with minor injuries.”
