A man was arrested after spending several hours on the roof of an apartment block just outside the city centre today (Monday).
Police were called to the Picturehouse apartments on the corner of Wilbraham Street and Scotland Road shortly after 6am. Pictures of the scene showed the man sitting on the ledge behind the red chimney-like structure of the building, reportedly "talking on his phone".
Busy Scotland Road was closed off in both directions during the morning rush hour while a police negotiator spoke to the man, who could be seen prowling along a ledge on the roof of the building and occasionally talking into a phone.
