A police investigation into a "serious incident" in Nottingham is causing significant disruption. A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after three people were killed in Nottingham.

Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service said it was also in attendance assisting the police force. Police were then called to Milton Street where a van had attempted to run over three people, who are currently being treated in hospital. A man was then found dead in Magdala Road.
The public have been told to avoid the area and plan alternate routes. A 31-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in custody.

The cordon on Upper Parliament Street is large - covering the whole intersection at the front of Nottingham's Royal Concert Hall.
It is a busy part of the city and many people were curious about the large police presence as they made their way past, with officers helping them find alternative routes around the cordon.
Loudspeakers at the tram stop were informing passengers that no services were running due to a "major police incident".
Armed officers could also be seen in Old Market Square - but no obvious signs of alarm at this point.
There are also multiple fire engines at another cordon on nearby Milton Street.
Ch Insp Neil Humphries, from Nottinghamshire Police, said: "Officers are currently on scene at multiple road closures due to an ongoing incident.
"Please avoid these areas as they are expected to remain closed for some time."
The public have been told to avoid the area
Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service said its crews were assisting the police
