Armed police called in as man threatens to kill woman with knife


Armed police surrounded a flat in Middlesbrough after a man threatened to kill a woman with a knife.


Officers were called to flats on Palin Road, off Marton Road in the town centre, at around 5pm yesterday after a report that a woman was threatened in the street by a man who was brandishing a knife.


The man had then entered a nearby flat with the weapon and refused to leave.


Armed response units and trained specialists were at the scene until around 10.40pm last night and a 37-year-old local man was arrested on suspicion of making threats to kill.


Nobody was injured during the incident.


The man this morning remained in police custody facing questioning.
