Police are negotiating with a man dangling off the roof of an apartment block after the shocking discovery of a woman's body on Sydney's north shore.
A pedestrian made the grisly discovery of the woman's body in an alleyway at about 6.30am (local time) on Brown Street near Chatswood train station.
The woman appears to have fallen from somewhere in the Brown Street apartment building.
Police and a Korean interpreter are now speaking to the man who is dangling above an awning over a communal gym area of the building and occasionally stretching his arms out over the ledge.
The man has now taken off his shoes and placed them on the awning, and can be seen occasionally glancing anxiously back over his shoulder into the gym behind him, where a crime scene has been established.
