As police arrived to offer assistance, the man was also tied to the railing with rope.
Traffic on the North Circular road was stopped until – two hours later – a fire engine with a hydraulic lift was able to bring the man down to safety. He was then detained by an ambulance and taken to the hospital under the Mental Health Act.
