Belfast City Centre road closed as PSNI deal with 'incident'

Police are currently dealing with an 'incident' in Belfast City Centre.

Motorists are advised that Victoria Street in the city centre is currently closed while officers attend.

The closure is from Dunbar Link and Corporation Street junction to Dunbar Link and Victoria Street junction.

A PSNI spokesperson said: "Please avoid the area and seek an alternative route for your journey."

There are no further details at this time.

In other news, police are appealing for information following a report of a road traffic collision which occurred at the Stewartstown Road area of West Belfast last night.

Sergeant Hakin said: “At around 7:45pm, it was reported that a group of young males directed a firework at a group of young females who were walking in the area. It was then reported that one of the males ran towards one of the females with a lit firework.

"As she attempted to avoid the male, she collided with the driver’s side of a grey Ford Fiesta which was driving close to the McKinstry Road roundabout. The female was taken to hospital for her injuries.

“Enquiries are continuing and we would appeal to anyone who witnessed the incident, or anyone with dashcam footage taken from the area at the time to contact police on 101 quoting reference number 1742 19/10/21. Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime.”
