Police detained a woman last night after they were called out to a car park in Chatham.

Officers were called to the multi-storey car park in The Brook at about 11pm following reports of concern for the welfare of a woman.

Officers arrived on the scene and and managed to persuade the woman, who has not been named, to come down.

The area, near The Pentagon Shopping Centre, was cordoned-off while officers dealt with the incident.

A Kent Police spokesman confirmed officers had been called at 11.04pm.

He added: “Officers attended the scene and nearby traffic was stopped for a short period before the woman was detained under the Mental Health Act.”
