The incident happened at around 7am on Saturday at Kwik Fit Plus in Foleshill Road.

West Midlands Police and crews from West Midlands Fire Service were called to reports of a 'vulnerable man on a roof.'

Crews from Coventry Fire Station provided a hydraulic platform for police so negotiators could gain safe access to him.

A spokesperson from West Midlands Police said: “We were called to a man on top of a roof. He was brought down in conjunction with the fire service.

“He was checked over by the ambulance service. He had a broken bone and is having treatment for that.”
