A wanted man has been arrested after he was spotted by an off-duty officer on the platform of a Northumberland railway station.
On Thursday, a 37-year-old man was arrested in relation to a warrant which had been issued for failure to attend court. He was spotted by a constable from one of Northumbria Police's Northern Response Teams as he waited to board a carriage at Prudhoe Railway Station.
Concerned that the train would leave before back-up arrived, the officer also worked with a guard on the platform to briefly halt the train's departure as his colleagues were en-route. On their arrival, the man was taken into police custody and will now appear before the courts.
