Emergency services were called to reports of an incident on Folly Lane in Hereford this afternoon. 

Students were temporarily told to remain in their class.  

There were reports of a man walking around the college campus with a crossbow. 

A man has since been arrested at Wetherspoons in Hereford and we understand this may be in connection with the incident on Folly Lane.

A spokesperson for West Mercia Police told Your Herefordshire:

A man has been arrested this afternoon (4 October) following a report of him carrying a bow and arrow at Herefordshire and Ludlow college, Folly Lane in Hereford.

We believe this to be an isolated incident, and officers will remain in the area to offer reassurance to students, staff and the community.

More soon.
