Stand off in Brixton
The eastern part of Coldharbour Lane has been sealed off all day as police have tried to talk a woman out of her flat. Apparently, the woman was due in court today but didn't show up. The police were called and when they went around her flat she flashed a blade of some description and threatened to kill her three kids inside. So, there's been a long stretch of police vans and curious bystanders lining the road all day (since 9am) - and they're still here now - at 2am! Let's hope it gets sorted without anyone getting hurt...
