A prisoner is still on the roof of Strangeways prison in Manchester after six hours with police negotiators having tried to bring him down.
The man wearing blue has been pictured walking around on the sliding roof of the building by a chimney and occasionally signalling. In the latest development shortly before 11pm, crowds of people have been letting off fireworks, as well as chants of 'oggy oggy oggy' from the inmate and the public have been heard.
Members of the public could see the man on top of the prison in the centre of Manchester which became notorious for serious rioting in 1990. The prison is also believed to be on lockdown while the protest continues, MEN reports.
