If cells in the process of dividing are subjected to colchicine, a drug that interferes with the functioning of the spindle apparatus, at which stage will mitosis be arrested?

The mitosis stops when chromosomes are at the maximum condenstation, it is practically metaphase but the chromosomes are not attached to the spindles so they don't form the equatorial plate.
