A stand off at a GP Out of Hours Surgery has ended after a man barricaded himself into the building close to Craigavon Area Hospital.

Police and the NI Fire and Rescue Service were called to deal with the man who is understood to be in his 40s.

There were concerns for the man’s welfare and staff from the Southern Health Trust were involved with the PSNI in negotiating with him.
