Two police cordons have been put in place on Selhurst Road near the South Norwood Clock Tower, with officers on the scene as an incident unfolds on Thursday evening.
Photographs taken at the scene show Metropolitan Police officers standing guard beside cordoned-off sections of pavement and road, with a marked police van and patrol car positioned close to Freddy’s, the chicken and burger restaurant on the junction. Police tape has been stretched across the footway, restricting pedestrian access in the area.
What is known so far
The full circumstances of the incident have not yet been confirmed by the Metropolitan Police. Officers remain at the location and the cordons were still in place at the time the images were taken.
Members of the public were being directed away from the immediate area, with buses and other traffic continuing to pass through surrounding streets.
A developing situation
This is a developing story. Further details are expected once the Metropolitan Police issues a statement on the nature of the incident and any arrests or injuries.
Motorists and pedestrians in the South Norwood area are advised to allow extra time for their journeys and to follow directions from officers at the scene.
