A 21-YEAR-old man was last night being spoken to by specialist police negotiators after he would not come down from a roof.
Police said the man had climbed to the top of a property in Kyan Street, Burnley, at 3.30pm yesterday.
He had thrown some slates from the roof.
The road was closed while officers tried to bring him down to safety.
Residents were told to stay indoors.
