Wanted man falls through the ceiling after avoiding police

This funny video shows the moment a man who was allegedly hiding from police in an attic fell through the ceiling - leaving his leg dangling inches above a waiting officer.

Matty Walsh, 24, was at a party with some friends when he heard a banging at the door and someone shout "police" - at which point one of the group vanished.

He said that he had no idea who the man was, how he got there, or where he went when the police knocked on the door in Rochdale, Manchester.

But he said police came in and declared they were looking for an alleged suspect - before there was a loud creak from the ceiling.
