Shocking footage shows a huge 5G tower burning as a result of a suspected arson attack after conspiracy theorists linked the new technology with coronavirus.
In the video, uploaded to the website Birmz Is Grime, the 70ft EE mast in Birmingham is fully ablaze. Police say they are not yet sure what started to fire although onlookers say it was deliberately started following concerns over health risks the network could bring.
The electromagnetic radiation used by mobile phone technologies has led to worries among conspiracy theorists that they can cause certain types of cancer.
Some have also linked 5G to the coronavirus outbreak, although the Government says there is 'no credible evidence' to support this belief.
