SALISBURY — Police responded with a large presence on North Main Street after a person called 911 and threatened suicide, a spokesperson for the Salisbury Police Department said.

The incident occurred on Monday at approximately 5:30 p.m.

North Main motorists were prevented from continuing through the stretch of road near Steele Street while law enforcement took command of the scene.

Multiple police cars and officers could be seen in the area on North Main Street near the East Miller Street intersection, where the call likely came from. The spokesperson said that police did not find anything in that area and said that the threat was ruled false.
