Between 15 and 20 police vehicles descended on the area with a cordon set up to seal off both ends of the street.

According to locals, several children saw the horrific incident unfold.

One woman, who asked not to be named, said: “I heard all the noise and came out to see what was going on … The paramedics were trying to help her then started shouting because they needed to get her out of there.”
