NEGOTIATORS were called in after a man was found “in a precarious position” at the top of a Hampshire multi-storey car park.

Police received a call reporting concerns for the welfare of the man who was on the edge of the 13-level Mitchell Road car park in Eastleigh.

Neighbouring Southampton Road was closed while the drama unfolded at around 11.30pm on last night and a critical incident inspector was called in.

Negotiations with the man continued until just before 1.30am when he came away from the edge of the town centre car park of his own accord and was led to safety unharmed.
