A man attempted to run away from police by launching himself off the top floor of a shopping centre.

The incident happened at the Overgate in Dundee on Wednesday.

Two men wanted in connection with offences were spotted by officers in the shopping centre.

A man, 20, then ran away and jumped off the top floor, landing at the bottom and narrowly missing a person.

He then suffered a leg injury and is understood to have hopped out of the centre before being arrested by police.

The other man, 50, was also arrested.

A Police Scotland spokesman said: "Two men who Police Scotland wished to speak to regarding outstanding crimes were seen in the Overgate Shopping Centre today at 10.10am.

"One of the men sustained a leg injury and the other man has been detained."

The incidents were not related to shoplifting.
