Police are probing a bus station 'altercation' in Middlesbrough town centre. 

Officers received reports of an altercation at Middlesbrough Bus Station, on Newport Road, around 3.40pm on Friday afternoon. 

Pictures from the scene showed a group of people in between two buses on the forecourt of the station, with one person captured lying on the ground. 

Reports suggest the bus had just pulled in to the station when the incident unfolded, and had to stop as a result.

The D&S understands that the people involved in the incident had left the scene prior to Cleveland Police arriving. 

A statement from the force said: "We received reports of an altercation at Middlesbrough Bus Station at around 3.40pm on Friday 14th June. 

"Enquiries are currently ongoing. Anyone with information should contact us on 101."
