Police closed off a section of Beverley Road yesterday afternoon, with only limited access for people wishing to enter properties inside the cordon.

The road remains closed to vehicles and pedestrians between Fountain Road and Freetown Way, even though the man has now come down from the roof.

A Humberside Police spokesman said the road would not reopen until the carriageway had been cleared of debris.
