POLICE have halted an investigation into an alleged incident near a York bar.

The Evening Press reported yesterday that officers had cordoned off part of a street in the George Hudson Street area near the Nexus bar.

The investigation followed reports that a woman had been involved in an incident in the area on Saturday night.

But a police spokesman said that, having looked into the reports, officers had concluded that there was no basis for any further inquiries.
