Police have closed off a number of streets in the centre of Liverpool after a man claiming to be in possession of a bomb sparked a possible terror threat at a high-rise building.
A fire alarm was triggered by employees at the Silkhouse Court building on Tithebarn Street in the city centre, after which police evacuated it and a number of nearby streets and dispatched a helicopter.
In a statement, Merseyside Police said all employees in the building had been accounted for and the man, who had been "acting suspiciously" was still inside.
According to the Liverpool Echo, police negotiators are attempting to speak to the man, while a bomb disposal team has arrived at the scene.
