Cordoned off: The scene at on Friargate this morning

Police have managed to bring down a man who had been on Friargate rooftops for nine hours.

The man was reported up there soon after 5am eventually came down at around 2pm.

Friargate was closed until lunch time causing tailbacks on nearby roads. The road has since been reopened despite the man’s refusing to come down.

A police spokesman said: “An investigation is underway to establish if any criminal offences have been committed.”
