A man was arrested on suspicion of causing public nuisance, criminal damage, public order offences, burglary and assaulting two police officers.
Footage shows the moment police ended a two-day stand-off by arresting a wanted man while he slept on a roof.
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.
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.
Detective Chief Inspector Helen Bagnall, of Salford district, said: “During two days of disruption to the local community, we worked continuously with our partners to bring this matter to a safe conclusion.
“This was an extensive use of vital policing resources and clearly demonstrates the dangers our officers face on a daily basis in order to protect the people of Greater Manchester.
“Two of our officers suffered minor injuries during this incident.
“I would like to reiterate my thanks to the people of Salford for their patience and understanding whilst emergency service personnel dealt with this incident.
“Some properties have been damaged as a result of this man’s actions. We will work with partners to ensure affected residents will be supported going forward.”
