Shortly after 5.20pm, police received multiple calls to the area of Snowdonia Road and Arlington Road with reports that a man had a knife and had injured others.

Numerous members of the public intervened and officers attended.

Numerous cordons are in place in the surrounding area while police remain at the scene.

Detective Inspector Ben Lavender, who is leading the investigation, said: “Our investigation is in the early stages and we’re working hard to establish what has happened.

“We’re in the process of speaking to numerous witnesses and those who helped at the scene of this serious incident.
