Police have released footage of the moment a man was arrested while he slept on the roof of a property.
Greater Manchester Police said emergency services responded to an incident at a property on Reservoir Street in Salford over the course of two days.
Footage, released by the force, shows its Tactical Aid Unit officers gently resting a ladder against the roof of a back porch, with an officer then grabbing the man while he was sleeping.
A struggle then ensues and the man is pulled down the ladder, with his trousers appearing to fall down, before being arrested by officers in the garden of the property.
Two police officers suffered minor injuries during the incident on Saturday (15 August).
Greater Manchester Police said the arrest attempt was tasked by another force for the man who was wanted on recall to prison for other matters.
The force said a 37-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing public nuisance, criminal damage, public order offences, burglary and assaulting two police officers.
He remains in police custody.
