A man remains on top of a crane in Salford this afternoon as his protest enters a second day. The man scaled the huge Heyrod crane on Chapel Street, Salford, near Manchester city centre at around 5am yesterday morning (Monday).
Police and fire crews attended with locals saying officers spent all of yesterday trying to communicate with him. However nearby residents say the man told officers he was not coming down and that he could stay up there for at least a week.
A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police (GMP) confirmed the main remains on the crane and that officers remain at the scene. No further details about the incident have yet been released by the force, however.

It has not been confirmed exactly what the man is protesting against but banners hanging from the crane appear to refer to the handling of an alleged racist attack.
One person living nearby said yesterday that workmen at the site where the crane is situated were sent home as officers continued their efforts to talk to him. Drones were also spotted circulating in the area.
“He has been shouting down to police and people saying he's not coming down and that he can stay up there for at least a week," one witness said.
