After exiting the Mount onto the Promenade, officers were joined by other members of the public who directed them and joined in the foot pursuit. The male was subsequently detained and arrested nearby.Sergeant Andy Hill said: "We would like to thank the members of the public involved in this incident who gave updates of the male’s location and who assisted officers. Without the publics support, the male may well have gone undetected.
