A man was arrested today after breaking into a city centre radio station and broadcasting obscenities live on air.

The man was arrested at 5am after forcing entry to the Galaxy 102.2 studios in Birmingham's Broad Street, a West Midlands Police spokeswoman said.

A spokesman for the station said: "In the early hours of this morning ... there was an incident at the radio studios of Galaxy 102.2 in Birmingham.

"A man forced his way into the station but was arrested by the police at the scene."

The spokesman declined to comment on how the man managed to get on air, adding: "We can make no further comment at this stage."

A spokesman for Ofcom, the independent regulator for the UK communications industries, said no complaints had been received about the incident.
