Officers tackle new incident on Salisbury street

Police confirmed last night that officers were dealing with an incident involving a man outside the Zizzi restaurant in Salisbury where the former Russian spy, Sergei Skripal, and his daughter Yulia dined before falling ill.

A man in his 30s is involved in the incident on Castle Street in the city centre, the police said.

“Given the ongoing incident in Salisbury and Amesbury, we are taking highly precautionary measures to ensure public safety,” Wiltshire police said, adding: “At the moment there is nothing to suggest any wider risk to the public. We would ask people to avoid the immediate area.”
