London: Police in England say they are responding to a "hazardous material incident" after people in a seaside town reported vomiting and sore eyes.

The Sussex Police force said officers were investigating symptoms reported by "a small number of people" in Worthing, 80 kilometers south of London on England's south coast. The Worthing Fire Station tweeted Sunday that a section of the seafront had been cordoned off, and it advised residents to shut their windows and doors.

In 2017, a mysterious chemical haze left scores of people on the coast about 48 kilometers away with streaming eyes, sore throats and breathing problems.
