Man on Gala Bingo Hall Rooftop
There was a lot more excitement then playing a game of Bingo at Gala Bingo in Keighley. It was the type of excitement that players would much rather avoid opting for Full House win.

The local police were called after a man was clearly spotted on the rooftop. Causing a stir from ground level there was concern over what the man was attempting to do.

The tension was high as a staff member from Gala Bingo on Alice St. raised the alarm at 3:55pm on Friday 7th February.

An ambulance and police arrived on the scene to access the situation in an attempt to get him down.

A police spokesman said: “There were concerns for the man's safety.

“He subsequently came down from the roof of his own accord.”

The 37 year old man was promptly arrested under the Mental Health Act.
