A man fled to an 'outhouse' after police attended a 'domestic incident' in Oswestry.

West Mercia Police confirmed that officers from Oswestry Safer Neighbourhood team were called to the incident at the beginning of last month.

Officers said they attended the scene on October 8 after receiving a call about a suspect being found in a property with a 'vulnerable victim'.

It was confirmed that a domestic violence protection order had been put in place and officers gained entry to the property before the suspect fled the scene.

A spokesperson for West Mercia Police said: "On October 8 the Town Centre Team assisted with response officers in relation to a domestic incident where a suspect was found inside a property with a vulnerable victim.

"A domestic violence protection order was in place during that time and force was used to gain entry to the property.

"The suspect fled to an outhouse and was later located and arrested."
