POLICE still haven't revealed the circumstances or outcome of a major incident on York's River Ouse which led to Lendal Bridge being closed to traffic yesterday morning.
Rescue boats were called out after the ambulance service received a report of a person in the water.
The bridge was closed for about half an hour while fire, police and ambulance services attended the incident, along with York Rescue Boat, but it re-opened at just before 10.30am.
Yorkshire Ambulance Service said yesterday it was called at 9.29am to a report of a person in the water but could not comment further, while North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service said its crews went to the scene, including the rescue boat, but could not give any details at this stage.
North Yorkshire Police has apologised for any inconvenience caused whilst it carried out an investigation, but has so far declined to disclose any details about the outcome of the incident.
