Lady Bay Bridge: Closed for second time in 2 weeks

Lady Bay Bridge has been closed for a second time in two weeks after a man is discovered sitting on the bridge arch.

The road, which has now re-opened, was closed in both directions by police for five hours.

In a similar incident on February 24, the bridge was closed due to safety concerns for a another man who was found on the bridge.

The man, Shane Baldwin, 28, of no fixed address, was arrested and has been subsequently jailed for six months by Nottingham magistrates for possession of a knife.

The man who was on the bridge last night has been taken to hospital.
