A tree surgeon has died after he apparently injured himself with a chainsaw.
The man, believed to be in his 30s, suffered a neck wound in the incident in Bermondsey, southeast London, with one witness saying he saw "a lot of blood".
The tragedy happened in Banyard Road near a school, shortly after 11am on Wednesday.
Another man, Charlie Brenland, said he saw police cordon off the road, adding: "Witnesses and the police said there had been an accident with a worker on one of the trees.
"Someone there said one of the tree surgeons had an accident with a chainsaw."
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: "This is believed to be a workplace accident and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) will be informed in due course."
