A stand-off involving a wanted man was brought to an end when police arrested him while he slept on a roof.

Footage shows officers from the force's tactical unit gently resting a ladder against the roof of a back porch, with an officer then grabbing the man while he was sleeping.

A struggle ensues and the man is pulled down, with his trousers appearing to fall down, before he is arrested by officers in the garden of the property.

Two police officers suffered minor injuries during the incident on Saturday.

GMP said it was asked by another force to arrest the man who 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.
