Narrative:

I was working local control 2 which controls runway xxl and ground control coordinated via the land line behind short final cross runway xxl at intersection delta and it was approved. I was watching diamond star on short final at the same time [another aircraft] crossed the hold bars diamond star advised that he was going around. The go around was conducted before the aircraft reached the landing threshold.
