Roads shut in Perth for ‘serious’ incident
Leonard Street and St Andrews Street were closed while emergency services attended.
Traffic was diverted along Cross Street and Pomarium Street.
An eyewitness said: “It was obviously a very serious scene, given the amount of police that were there, and with the two roads closed off.
“Even for the time of night, there were a few people about, some from the Queen’s Hotel had gathered and I could see people in the flats nearby watching what was going on.
“The fire brigade were there and they appeared to be erecting a tent or screen at the bottom end of St Andrews Street, at the corner of Leonard Street.”
