Emergency services are swarming a central Wellington street, which has been closed to the public.

Police were called to an incident on Willis Street at 3.30pm, and say the road is now shut between Manners and Dixon streets.

An RNZ staffer says firefighters are using a crane to reach the upper levels of a building.

Fenz has confirmed they’re “assisting police”.

Five police cars and ambulances are also at the scene.

The public has been asked to avoid the area.
