Indianapolis - A downtown intersection was closed Friday because a man was on the roof ledge of a 16-story hotel, police said.
Witnesses say the man stepped to the ledge of the Hilton Garden Inn several times and backed away. Police approached him carefully and eventually talked him down about 11:30 am.
Fire trucks and squad cars closed off streets near the corner of Pennsylvania and Market streets, a block from Monument Circle in the heart of downtown, as a large crowd had gathered to watch what was going on.
