Three people have been arrested after police flooded a Middlesbrough street following a 'disturbance'.

Officers were called to Corporation Road, just outside the Pig Iron and The Central bars, after reports of a disturbance on Wednesday, October 16, around 9.30pm. 

Pictures online show how a string of police vehicles with blue flashing lights descended upon the road following the reported disorder.
