A man remains on top of a crane in Salford for second day in protest

A man remains on top of a crane in Salford this afternoon as his protest enters a second day. The man scaled the huge Heyrod crane just off Chapel Street in, Salford at around 5am yesterday morning (Monday).

Police and fire crews attended the scene near near Manchester city centre with locals saying officers spent all of yesterday trying to communicate with him. However nearby residents say the man told officers he was not coming down and that he could stay up there for at least a week.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) confirmed the man remains on the crane and that officers remain at the scene alongside other emergency services.
