Armed police have been involved in a stand-off spanning several hours at a property on Wales Street in Aberdeen.
Officers say a man “barricaded” himself inside a property in the city on Sunday morning.
A team of armed police clad in body armour arrived on the scene in a number of vehicles before mustering at the entrance of a flat block along the street.
They could be seen switching on their body cams before heading into the building as members of the public watched on from nearby streets.
While the majority of the armed response unit entered the building, a number of officers remained outside and maintained a perimeter.
Police say the incident was contained and that there was no threat to the wider public.
However, members of the public have been urged to avoid the area in Aberdeen.
Officers were called to the scene at about 11am with the last of the emergency services seen leaving shortly before 4pm.
A police spokeswoman said: “Officers are currently dealing with an ongoing incident on Wales Street, Aberdeen, where a man has barricaded himself in a house.
“The incident is contained and there is no threat to the wider public but people are being asked to avoid the area.”
