Woman on Newport rooftop detained by Police

Part of Pyle Street, Newport was closed earlier today as Police dealt with reports of a vulnerable woman on top of a building.

She told On The Wight that the woman was brought down from the top of the building in a Police car and when transferred to the Police van on Pyle Street was seen repeatedly head-butting the van.

Police say that the woman has been detained under the Mental Health Act. We wish her a speedy recovery.

The road has since re-opened.
