“I then saw a woman come out on to the street followed by a small group of other people.

“There was a lot of shouting and screaming going on and the woman seemed to be bleeding from a head wound.

“Not long after, the police and an ambulance arrived.

“The woman was seen to by paramedics and put into the ambulance.

“I saw the police speaking to two men who also seemed to have been involved.”

Another woman said she heard banging and was then aware of police arriving in the street.

She said: “There seemed to have been a fight of some kind.

“I was aware that a woman had been taken away in an ambulance.

“Police sealed off the entry to the block of flats during the incident and were seen to be questioning neighbours and people who had been passing by.”
