Police officers deployed Taser as they arrested a man on suspicion of possessing a knife in Norwich’s clubland.
A member of the public described how the man had approached a group of people on Prince of Wales Road and appeared to have a knife.
He said the man was tasered before being arrested by officers who he described as being 'fantastic'.

The spokesman confirmed Taser was deployed during the arrest.
