A stretch of a major Midlands motorway remains closed today as police continue to negotiate with a man threatening to harm himself on a bridge.

The M42 was closed between the M5 and junction 1 at Bromsgrove at 12.45pm yesterday afternoon after police were called to the scene.

But West Mercia Police today said the man remains on the A38 bridge over the M42.
