A major Sheffield city centre street has been shut by police this afternoon amid welfare concerns.
At least two ambulances as well as a number of police vehicles have surrounded a four-storey building on West Street this afternoon (June 6), with a cordon in place between Rockingham Lane and Carver Street.
The incident appears to be centred around scaffolding around a building at the junction of Rockingham Street.
South Yorkshire Police has confirmed they responded to concerns for the safety of a man and are asking members of the public to avoid the area.
