Police closed off Oxford Street at around 9pm last night after the man scaled the building. The busy road was taped off between Chepstow Street and Whitworth Street.

Firefighters and police helped get the man down from the roof of the NCP car park building. He was then detained under the Mental Health Act, a spokesperson for GMP said this morning.
