Police believe a second person is inside a flat which is at the centre of an ongoing siege.
Trained negotiators are speaking to a man who is apparently refusing to leave a house in Keightley Road, New Parks, Leicester.
Armed officers are also present because there are indications the man might have a firearm, possibly a shotgun.
However, until now it was not clear whether or not the man was alone.
