Was taxying in when this happened. The crew mentioned to ATC that the ground crew were having difficulty removing the tow bar. Then a call was heard saying that they had broken the noseleg and requested emergency services.

Similiar thing happened with a BRAL J41 in Dublin several years ago when an over zealous ground crew broke the down lock on the nose gear.
