Village siege continues

Village siege continues

POLICE, fire and ambulance crews yesterday spent their second night at a siege at an isolated house close to the village of Buttonoak, near Bewdley, Worcestershire. One man had been inside the house since Saturday lunchtime and was refusing to come out. Specially trained negotiators were at the scene trying to persuade him to leave peacefully. No one else was involved and there was no immediate danger to the public, a police spokesman said.
