Police descended on a Perth street after reports of a car chase on Monday.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing multiple police vehicles on Barossa Place, near the city centre, just after 5pm.
A short time before, several police vehicles had been spotted on Scott Street in pursuit of a car.
Onlookers said the car came to a halt on Barossa Place after a tyre had blown out.
One person close to the scene said: “It was all very dramatic as suddenly there were multiple police vehicles, at least four, in the street as the car came to a halt.
“There were about eight officers around the car and then a man was being led away.
“It certainly looked pretty serious and not the sort of thing you see in Perth every day.”
Police Scotland has been contacted for comment.
