Man scales Sheffield town hall to remove Israeli flag

Protesters replaced an Israeli flag flying above Sheffield Town Hall with a Palestinian flag, after scaling the building during a demonstration.

Footage shared on social media showed a man climbing across the roof to remove the banner before throwing it to a crowd of people below.

In a statement South Yorkshire Police said it believed two men had scaled the building on Tuesday evening.

No arrests had been made, the force said, with inquiries "ongoing".
