Part of the M1 Motorway has been closed by police as they deal with an 'incident'.

QRadio understands emergency services were called to the scene following reports of a vulnerable man in distress.

Members of the public were seen trying to assist the man shortly after 10am this morning.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland say officers are on scene and will work to re-open the road as soon as possible.

Drivers have been asked to avoid the area and seek alternate routes.

UPDATE: 11.30

The M1 has now reopened in both directions to all traffic.
