Police shut road after woman climbs onto roof of Christie hospital

A busy road was shut while police responded to reports of a woman being on the roof of the Christie hospital.

The woman was safely escorted from the roof and was taken to hospital.

Palatine Road in Didsbury was closed in both directions as officers responded this evening.

The road has since been reopened.

A GMP spokesperson said: "Shortly after 5.15pm this afternoon (Thursday 25 February 2021) police were called to concerns for the welfare of a woman on the roof of the Christie Hospital on Wilmslow Road, Manchester.

"The woman has since been safely escorted from the roof and taken to hospital.

"The road closures that were in place have now been reopened."

Bus services were affected and motorists were asked to use alternative routes.
