A 36-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of assault after an incident on Foleshill Road in Coventry on Tuesday afternoon.
West Midlands Police were called to the major road at about 14:00 BST after reports of a man on the roof of a building. The road was cordoned off while emergency services attended the scene for several hours. Foleshill Road reopened at about 17:30 BST, according to the council.
Emergency Response
Officers spoke to the man in an effort to bring the incident to a safe conclusion. West Midlands Ambulance Service was also called to the scene at 14:57 BST and sent a specialist paramedic and a paramedic officer.
Traffic was diverted between Blue Ribbon roundabout and Churchill Avenue. Bus route 148 was also diverted on the day.
One witness described the incident as "shocking". "One minute I'm having my lunch, then I'm looking out my window to see about seven police officers and a man on a roof," they told the BBC.
Investigation
The man remains in custody for questioning. West Midlands Police are urging any witnesses to contact them.
