A WOMAN has been arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm without intent this morning.

Officers were called to a domestic incident in Whitehead Street at around 6.50am today in which a man in his 40's sustained a wound to his hand. 

He was taken to Great Western Hospital.

Police officers arrested a 42-year-old woman and quickly cordoned off the street.

An officer at the scene said that the cordon was "just a precaution for the time being."

He added that pedestrians should still be able to walk along the pavement but the two alleyways nearby are blocked off.
