Man barricaded himself into flat in Southport
Town Centre
ON Monday, 9 May 2016, residents and
businesses near the corner of Coronation Walk (B5245) and West Street, in
Southport Town Centre, had to be evacuated after a man was reported to have
barricaded himself into his flat. The flat is thought to have been located at
the back of the Royal Clifton Hotel, on Royal Terrace. We are told that a
Merseyside Police negotiator was used to bid to speak to the man following a
report from a member of the public, who was concerned for the man's safety. Both
Merseyside Police and Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service attended, from about
11:15am. We are told that the male was later detained under the Mental Health
Act and taken to Hospital for assessment.. |
