Police descended on a city centre street after being called to a 'disturbance' outside a pub.

Officers were dispatched to the scene in Tontine Street, outside the Market Tavern, in Hanley, earlier today.

A crowd of onlookers had gathered around the area as the incident unfolded.

Eyewitnesses report seeing officers dealing with a man on the ground, but it is unclear at this time whether he was detained.

StokeonTrent Live has approached Staffordshire Police for a statement, but they are, as yet, unable to release any further details.
