    Not exactly sure what is up yet, but something is going on. Heard myself that a men has walked in with two kids hostage and a bomb strapped to himself.:(
    Armed officers are outside a Merseyside factory dealing with what police have described as a "significant incident".

    Police were called to Alfred H Knight on Prescot Road, St Helens, just after 1130 GMT after a suspicious individual was seen on the premises.

    Houses near the scene were evacuated and residents further down the street were told to stay indoors.

    One resident told BBC Radio Merseyside officers had told him to move to the back of his house.

    A 300m cordon has been set up around the scene.

    No further details are known at this stage but a spokesman for the North West Ambulance Service said they were called to the area just before midday.

    Fire crews are also believed to be at the scene.
