Armed police have been talking to a man at a house in Bilton this morning.

A man has been arrested on Woodfield Road in Bilton after reports of knives being thrown out of a window.

North Yorkshire Police, including armed officers, were been to the scene at around 6am this morning.

A cordon was put in place to allow emergency services and a negotiator to speak to the man.

Seven police vehicles were called to the street this morning and officers had to divert residents and traffic down Elm Road. The road remains closed between Elm Road and Skipton Road.

Local residents told the Stray Ferret they are "shocked" by the incident.

North Yorkshire Police has released a statement, earlier this morning, saying:

"We’re currently at the scene of an ongoing incident on Woodfield Road in Bilton. A cordon is in place to allow emergency services, including a police negotiator, to respond.
"Please avoid area until further notice, the wider public are not believed to be at risk. We will provide an update when the cordon has been lifted."
