A busy road in Leicester remains closed this morning, after it was shut off by police due to an 'incident'.

Leicestershire Police said: "Road closure due to incident. Narborough Road is closed in both directions - from Harrow Road to Cambridge Street. Please find alternative routes."Police say an update would be provided in due course when the road was re-opened.

Live traffic maps show heavy traffic in the area as a result, with traffic appearing to be diverting onto Fosse Road South on one side of the closure.
