Police station in Derby closed following incident

A man has been taken to hospital following an 'incident' at a police station in Derby.

Derbyshire Police haven't confirmed what happened but said the police station on Ascot Drive has been closed.

The road is shut and images on social media show a large police presence at the scene.

We've spoken with an eyewitness who was shopping at B&M bargains next to the scene. She tells us:

"We heard about six bangs. At first it just sounded like beer kegs falling off the back of a lorry.

"Then B&M staff went outside and said armed police are everywhere, so everybody started to get a bit concerned about what's happening.

"And then over the tannoy, staff were shouting that we needed to evacuate immediately.

"I'd got my daughter in the trolley, we had to evacuate and leave everything, and we came out to find around ten police cars at a scene and it all taped off."

She added:

"It was rather scary knowing that it happened five minutes after I entered the store.

"If we'd have been any later getting in there, it could have been possible that we'd have witnessed that and it's not something anybody wants to see."

We'll bring you further updates when we have them.
