A major emergency response was underway outside the Manchester Arndale car park in Shudehill this afternoon.
A forensic tent was erected near the car park entrance and a cordon was put in place around the area on Monday (October 13).
Police and paramedics attended the scene outside the shopping centre car park, and an air ambulance reportedly landed nearby earlier in the response.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) confirmed they were called following reports of a concern for welfare.
