North Battleford Fire Department used their aerial truck to assist RCMP Thursday, when they helped remove a man from a rooftop on 101st Street.

According to RCMP, officers responded to a report of a man trying to fight people on 100th Street at approximately 5:45 a.m.

They say the man ran onto buildings on 101st Street and a brief chase ensued.

The man attempted to jump off a 25-foot tall building, but the pursuing RCMP officer was able to grab the man's extended arms. Police say the man was convinced, after a minute or so, to assist the officer in dragging him back onto the roof.

NBFD was called just before 6 a.m. to help lower the man safely to the ground before being taken away by police.

He was taken into custody without any serious injuries. The 20-year-old male remains in custody with charges pending for mischief, two counts of breach of probation and resisting arrest.
