Seems its kicking off in a logistics company on Tottenham Court Road.
Two failed HGV licence attempts apparently.
Hope the hostages are swiftly rescued.
Oddball, clearly.
…HGV licence! (too many words in topic title).

‘Hostage Incident’ At Tottenham Court Road
There are reports that four people have been taken hostage at a building in one of the busiest parts of the capital.
The man is reported to be angry he did not get an HGV Licence and walked into the building saying he had nothing to live for.
Police were called when the man was throwing computers, furniture and paper from the building.
He is said to have a gas cannister tied to him.
A trained hostage negotiator is en route to the scene.
Hundreds of people have been evacuated from surrounding buildings.
Armed police are at the scene and the area is at a standstill.
David Cook, one of the people evacuated, told Sky News: "There are more police showing up. We have been pushed right down the street.
Police have only confirmed that it is not a terrorist incident and “a man who is causing a disturbance and criminal damage at an office building”.
It`s the advantage hgv training office.
All this because they failed him 
Can you imagine him if he had passed and being held up somewhere at a drop…Looks like a trick has been missed here
Advantage?
Edit- beat me to it.
I just hope they don’t tell him that he needs his DCPC too

Do you need to borrow a gas cannister chap?
At least he has one of the necessary criteria for being a truck driver!

That’s why I reckon they should send an experienced truck driver in to negotiate.

Definitely one for the loony bin!
