Police are reporting "a number of casualties" and injuries at England's Manchester Arena on Monday following reports of loud explosion-like bangs coming from within the building.

Officials have not confirmed the cause of the noises, but have warned residents to avoid the area surrounding the arena, where Ariana Grande had just finished a concert. The incident caused concertgoers to scramble out of the building, and videos posted on social media showed police cars and ambulances rushing to the scene.

"Please AVOID the area as first responders work tirelessly at the scene," the Greater Manchester Police wrote on Twitter.

This story is developing.
