A woman has been talked down off a bridge by police in Worcester.

An eye witness at the scene said the woman was straddling a pedestrian bridge which crosses the City Walls Road and after chatting with an officer for a matter of minutes, was walked down the steps to safety at ground level, at around 4pm today [June 7].

The eyewitness left the scene at this point.

We could not get any information from West Mercia Police or West Midlands Ambulance Service at this time.
