Two injured by falling tree amid strong winds at Sydneys Hyde Park

At least two people have been hit after a huge fig tree fell in Sydney’s centre amid strong winds. The large tree in Hyde Park crashed to the ground across a footpath and on to a busy street at about 3pm on Friday. The police officers who were first on the scene combed through a sea of branches and foliage to determine if anyone had become trapped underneath. Emergency services said no one appeared to have been seriously injured in the incident. A screengrab from a video showing pedestrians near a fallen tree blocking the road near Hyde Park. Photograph:
