The police helicopter is currently circling an area of Swindon following an incident.

The National Police Air Service aircraft from Bristol started a search over the Walcot, Park North and Park South areas at around 5pm this evening (Friday, 9 September).

Several police vehicles have been spotted on the ground and appear to be patrolling in search of somebody.

Numerous comments on Facebook, seen by Wiltshire 999s, suggest a person was stabbed near Buckhurst Playing Fields – but this has not yet been confirmed.

Wiltshire Police has been approached for comment.
