Two people had to be rescued after getting stuck on a roof.

The man and woman had climbed through an attic window to sit on the roof of the building in North Road, Brighton, on Friday evening.

However the window slammed shut, trapping the couple outside.

The pair had a mobile with them so were able to phone for help.

Firefighters used an aerial platform to reach the couple and bring them back down to safety.

An East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said: “They were a bit embarrassed but otherwise okay.”
