Armed officers called due to threat made by 'person in crisis'

A number of roads were closed in the Island's capital last night, as Police responded to a threat made by a 'person in crisis'.

It comes as Emergency Services were called to Lord Street in Douglas just before 6pm.

Police say having armed officers at the scene was a 'precautionary measure'.

However, once it was established there was no longer a threat, police stood down and the road was re-opened.

Authorities have confirmed no-one was harmed during the incident.
