A man has been arrested after a police car was damaged by items thrown from a window in Leeds - including a stereo and some drinking glasses.

Officers were called to Cross Flats Crescent in Beeston at about 09:00 BST, where a man had barricaded himself inside a first-floor flat.

He was damaging the property and threw items out of the window, West Yorkshire Police said.

He came out of his own accord at about 11:00 BST.

No-one was injured in the stand-off.

Police said the man was arrested for causing criminal damage and threatening behaviour, and will be interviewed later.
