Tiles thrown by a man on a roof in Coventry overnight have caused minor injuries to two officers, say police.
The 23-year-old also made threats to stab officers who were trying to detain him yesterday, before he climbed on the roof of the house holding a knife.
Members of the public are not in any "immediate danger", say police, but they're asking nearby residents to stay indoors "for their own safety".
Specially trained negotiators at the scene have been unable to talk the man down.
Quote MessageOur priority is to resolve this as peacefully as possible but it is a very sensitive scenario. We appreciate the massive impact on the local community and are grateful for their support and patience during this complex situation.
