A man was spotted perching on a building roof as emergency services rushed to the scene on Saturday night.
The incident took place on March 25 at around 10.30pm around St John’s Kirk as onlookers spotted a male scrambling up scaffolding on the north side of the Perth church. He was then seen moving over onto the roof of the south wing.
Police Scotland were forced to tape off St John’s Place around the kirk and St John Street as the incident unfolded. The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) sent two fire engines to the kirk, including an aerial appliance. The Scottish Ambulance Service sent out a vehicle from its SORT (Special Operations Response Team) in addition to a normal ambulance.
