A man has been arrested after a police incident in Eastbourne.
Sussex Police said the emergency services responded to reports of a man on a ledge above a second-floor window of a property in Pevensey Road, Eastbourne, at around 7.20pm on Thursday, April 3.
A road closure and cordon were put in place as a precaution after items were reported to have been thrown by the man, posing a hazard to the public.
A 31- year-old man, from Eastbourne, has since been safely arrested on suspicion of intentionally or recklessly causing a public nuisance, attempting to assault emergency workers and intentionally causing fear or provocation of violence or threatening behaviour.
He remains in police custody at this time.
A spokesperson for Sussex Police said, "We would like to thank the public for their patience and understanding while the incident was ongoing."
