DUP MLA for East Belfast, Joanne Bunting, used social media to advise motorists to seek an alternative route if possible.

"Ravenswood Park in the Braniel is currently closed due to an ongoing incident," she said.

"Emergency services are on the scene. If you’re in the area, please avoid and seek an alternative route."
