A man was arrested over an alleged 'bomb hoax' which led to a city centre hotel being evacuated and a busy street being cordoned off.
Merseyside Police confirmed they were called to reports of a bomb hoax at a premises in Liverpool on June 17. At around 7pm, staff and guests were evacuated from The Britannia Building on Fenwick Street.
One woman who was visiting Liverpool for the weekend was having a meal nearby. She told the ECHO there was nothing, she "popped out for a cigarette" and suddenly there were huge crowds of people.
