A section of Wellington Road is now open after a police standoff.

Wellington Road was closed between Bradley Avenue and Dearness Drive for nearly 12 hours from Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning.

On Tuesday, Const. Joel Davis told CTV News London, “A male we believe is armed with weapons. We’re concerned for his safety and so we have police actively negotiating with him and hoping for a peaceful resolution.”

Officers from London police were stationed outside the Days Inn with the K9 unit also on scene.

There is no word on how the incident concluded, possible injuries, if anybody is in custody or charges.

CTV News London has reached out to London Police Service for more information.

More details will be provided when they become available.
