RECAP: MAN ARRESTED AFTER NINE-HOUR STAND-OFF ON JESMOND HOTEL ROOF A man has been arrested following a police stand-off at a hotel which lasted almost nine hours. A section of Osborne Road
in Jesmond was cordoned off this morning after a man climbed onto the Cairn Hotel. Photos from the scene show a topless man standing on what appears to be the roof of a bay window or
entrance to the hotel. Bricks also appear to be missing from parts of the building. Eye witnesses say bricks and other debris could be seen scattered across the road. Northumbria Police said
that the incident occurred after officers attended Osborne Road at 11.30pm last night to carry out an arrest. It's reported that the man then climbed onto the building, where he
remained for almost nine hours. No one was injured in the incident and following negotiations with officers, police confirmed that the man came down from the building at 8.25am this morning.
The cordon remained in place for a short time while debris was cleared from the area. HERE'S THE FULL STORY
