  We derive a solution of the gravitational equations which leads to a
braneworld scenario in six dimensions using a global cosmic string solution in
a low energy effective string theory framework. The final spacetime is composed
by one warped brane with $\mathbb{R}^{(3,1)}\times S^{1}$ topology and a power
law warp factor, and one noncompact extra dimension transverse to the brane. By
looking at the current experimental bounds, we find a range of parameters in
which, if the on-brane dimension has an acceptable size, it does not solve the
hierarchy problem. In another example this problem is smoothed by the
Brans-Dicke parameter.
