Police in the North have arrested a 38-year-old man who climbed to the top of the Big Wheel in Belfast yesterday evening.

A number of people were trapped in the pods of the 60-metre ferris wheel while specialist firefighters mounted an operation to rescue the man.

He is believed to be a member of the Travelling community who was involved in a protest at Belfast City Hall earlier in the day.
