Concerns were raised after the man was seen at the top of the high-rise building this afternoon (Friday).

West Yorkshire Police have confirmed the man has since been brought safely down.

Footage was circulated on social media of the man atop the building on Gipton Approach as officers attended the incident.

A spokesperson for the force said: "Police were called at 4.22pm to a concern for safety for a man at a building on Gipton Approach.

"The incident is now at an end and no one has been injured."
