A huge scene has been put in place in Manchester city centre with an evidence screen erected outside the Arndale following reports of a male ‘falling from a car park’ on Tuesday (July 29).
An air ambulance was also scrambled to the scene, landing in a car park near to Chetham’s School of Music, as police and paramedics raced to seal off the area.
High Street was taped off in both directions, with tram services also cancelled between Shudehill and Market Street due to the incident.
