Part of Manchester's Deansgate has been closed off by police after a serious incident in the early hours of this morning.

GMP City Centre has tweeted to say it's happened between John Dalton Street and Quay Street / Peter Street. The road is closed both ways and is now a crime scene, with John Dalton Street & Bridge Street also closed off at the junction of Deansgate.

We have contacted GMP for more details.

City Centre Councillor Pat Karney says he expects Deansgate to be closed for quite some time.
