Police officers helped talk a middle aged woman safely down from the top of a multi-storey car park in the city tonight.

Police received reports of a woman, thought to be in her 40s, sat on the roof of the NCP car park at the top of St Stephen's Street at about 4.40pm.

It was feared the woman might be looking to jump off but officers who attended managed to talk her down and took her away to be assessed under the mental health act.
