Man in custody after road sealed by police for six hours

A man is in custody after police sealed off a road for six hours. Merseyside Police[1] were called to Gaskell Street in St Helens[2] at around 8am on Thursday, April 20, following reports of an incident. Once officers arrived they closed the road between Sutton Road and Granville Street to carry out enquiries.

There were more than ten police vehicles and a fire engine at the scene of the incident. As well as Gaskell Street being closed there was also an alleyway cordoned off by police. Officers arrested a 44-year-old man from the St Helens area on suspicion of public order offences.

He remains in police custody and enquiries are ongoing. Gaskell Street re-opened just before 2pm. For the latest news and breaking news visit liverpoolecho.co.uk/news[4]
