Yahoo News UK outlines below the key timings and locations from the incident in Nottingham city centre:

4am

Two people were found dead in the street on Ilkeston Road shortly after 4am.

A resident on Ilkeston Road said a policewoman was “banging on my door” at around 5am asking for any CCTV footage.

The man, who asked to only be known as Wayne, said he was told the incident happened at about 4.10am before being asked if he had witnessed anything.

“I didn’t see or hear anything, but I’m not surprised this sort of thing has happened around here,” he said.

5am

Nottingham resident Glen Gretton said he was woken up at about 5am by the sounds of a series of police cars passing his home.

The 46-year-old delivery driver, who lives in a flat in Mansfield Road in Sherwood, said: “I heard a police car go past. It was driving extremely quickly, followed by another one, another one.

“They just kept coming so I knew something quite major... was happening somewhere around the city centre.”

5.30am

Police said a van had tried to run over three people on Milton Street. All three are being treated in hospital.

Eyewitness Lynn Haggitt told BBC News she saw a man in a white van drive into people near the Theatre Royal.

"I was going to work. A white van pulled up beside me, I thought that's weird," she said.

"He looked in his mirror, saw a police car behind him. He then quickened up, there was two people, two in the corner, he went straight into these two people. The woman went on the kerb, the man went up in the air. I wish I never saw it. It's really shaken me up. I went over, I wanted to see if I could help.

"He backed up, then drove up Parliament Street.

"The woman was sitting up on the kerb, she looked okay. The man was lying down but then he got up."

Time unknown

A third person, a man, was found dead at an unknown time in Magdala Road in the city.

Police forensics officers were pictured on the street on Tuesday morning.

7.56am

Shortly before 8am, Nottinghamshire Police tweeted that officers were responding to an "ongoing serious incident".

The force said the following roads had been closed off: Ilkeston Road; Milton Street; Magdala Road; Maples Street; Woodborough Road from junction of Magdala Road into the city and the Maid Marian Way junction of Parliament Street.

9.43am

Just before 9.45am, Nottinghamshire Police tweeted that a 31-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of murder after three people were found dead.

Kane Brady, a student at the University of Nottingham, told GB News he saw a knife being taken from a white van after a man was arrested outside his house on Maples Street.

He said: “We woke up to shouts of ‘armed police’ and what… sounded like some very loud noises, what sounded like gunshots – it was that loud.

“I looked out the bedroom window and saw Tasers. I saw a man being dragged out (of the van) and pinned to the floor.

“I saw him getting arrested, him trying to resist.

“I then later saw when they opened the van, I saw a large knife being pulled out and then straight away that’s when police closed off both roads, both Maples Street and Bentinck Road.”

The area around a white Vauxhall Vivaro van in Bentinck Road was later cordoned-off.

The van was left a short distance from the pavement with its passenger door open and what looked like a black bag on the road near the door.

Police were guarding the cordon by a convenience store on the corner of Bentinck Road and Marples Street.

The van has clear damage to its bonnet and windscreen.

There are two dents on the bonnet, just above the radiator grille, and two sets of corresponding cracks radiating out from two points on the windscreen.
