STREETS around Nelson bus station were cordoned off for just over an hour last night when a young woman threatened to jump from the top of the car park stack.
The girl, believed to be in her late teens, was spotted by a taxi driver who contacted the police at 8.55pm.
A spokesman for the police said: "She was very distressed and saying she was going to jump.
"We put in temporary road closures. Our negotiator went to her and she was talked down after an hour and taken to Burnley General Hospital."
