An incident which closed Bromsgrove Highway for three hours ended with no injuries, police have confirmed.

We reported how the road was closed in both directions following a 'police incident' yesterday afternoon.

West Mercia Police urged drivers to avoid the area, fearing that the closure would lead to severe gridlock.

Today a spokesman for West Mercia Police said: "We were called at just after 4pm on Tuesday 8 December to a concern for the safety of a man in Redditch.

"Bromsgrove Highway was closed in both directions for around three hours whilst officers spoke with the man.

"The incident was resolved safely and the man is now receiving the relevant support."
