Dramatic moment brave lads tackle wanted man
THIS is the dramatic moment that two brave men took an alleged offender to the ground in Long Eaton town centre.
The incident, which happened on the canal bridge in Derby Road, saw two men and a Derbyshire police officer take a man to the ground.
According to Erewash Response Unit on Twitter, the two men, who are from Long Eaton, "put themselves in harm's way" to help police. Officers have since asked the men to come forward.
The tweet read: "On December the 4th 2018 following a lengthy foot pursuit, two #LongEaton lads selflessly put themselves in harm's way to apprehend the offender! Unfortunately we know them only as Denham and Oliver, do you know them? If so please let us know."
A spokesperson for police confirmed the wanted male was recognised by a police officer and was wanted on suspicion of "several offences".
