Officers have closed off the alleyway between Scissors Cut and Caffé Roma, in Western Road, which connects to Parkhurst Road, behind Boots.

A spokesman for Sussex Police said: “Police were called to Western Road in Bexhill-on-Sea at 11.19am on Thursday (February 18) to a report of loud shouting and banging from a flat at the location.

“A man had climbed out on to a flat roof, but engaged with officers and returned inside around 12.50pm.”

Three police cars were at the scene.

The incident has now ended, according to an eyewitness.
