Greater Manchester Police shared footage, which they say was captured at an address in Merseyside, on Twitter this afternoon.

In the video, police can be seen using a knife to open a small cubby hole door on a wall before a man's head emerges.

The man was arrested on suspicion of two domestic violence offences, a driving offence and on recall to prison.

Accompanying the footage, Greater Manchester Police tweeted: "Some people go to extreme lengths to evade police but this wanted man was today found hiding in a wall at an address in #Merseyside by our #Wigan District Tasking Team.

"It's fair to say we'll quite literally go through walls to catch those that we're after!"
