A man police said is a detainee from the Tivoli Gardens community is now threatening to jump from the roof of a building at the Mobile Reserve headquarters in Kingston.
The man is currently lying down on the roof of what appears to be a shed on the compound, attracting attention from passers-by on South Camp Road. He has been there for the past two hours.
Persons on the scene said fire-fighters earlier attempted to talk the man out of it, but he would not budge.
He is being counselled by someone on the ground, but persons on the scene are telling him to jump.
