A 17-year-old boy has been arrested after he scaled a telecoms tower, resulting in road closures in Northampton town centre.
The incident unfolded behind a Lidl store in Towcester Road between 11:30 and 13:30 GMT on Sunday.
Northamptonshire Police urged motorists to avoid the area while they were at the scene.
The teenager was arrested on suspicion of causing a public nuisance and interfering with national infrastructure.
A spokeswoman said all roads had since reopened and added: "We would like to thank the public for their patience while the emergency services responded to this incident."
"Shortly after 13:30, a 17-year-old boy safely climbed down from the tower with the support of the emergency services," the police spokeswoman added.
