Police said a cordon has been set up and is due to remain in place throughout Friday, and they issued a further appeal for anyone who saw what happened to contact them.
Det Ch Insp Claire Gould said: "We want to stress that we believe this to have been an isolated incident and, as a result, don’t believe there to be a wider risk to the public.
“While we’ve arrested a suspect in connection with this incident, our inquiries are still very much ongoing, so it’s important anyone who has any information that could help us gets in touch.
“We'd particularly like to speak to anyone who witnessed what happened, or who has any CCTV or dashcam footage that could assist us."
