This is the moment armed police descended on a residential road in the middle of the night to make an arrest.

One officer was heard shouting outside a front door before raiding a house in Sycamore Road in the early hours of Saturday.

Two men have since been arrested on suspicion of kidnap as police investigate an alleged assault four days earlier.

In footage recorded by a resident's ring doorbell camera, an officer can be heard shouting two names followed by: 'You are surrounded by armed police. Come to the front door with nothing in your hands'.

Another video taken by another neighbour shows four officers pointing guns and torches at the house as they look for a way in.

The raid at 1.30am resulted in a 20-year-old Southampton man being held on suspicion of making threats to kill, possessing an offensive weapon in a public place, kidnap and failing to stop a vehicle.

Police were granted more time to question him and the man remains in custody.

The next day, on Sunday evening, a second man, aged 23 and also from Southampton, was arrested on Bracken Place on suspicion of kidnap.

He too remains in custody.

The arrests come after two men were allegedly assaulted in Rowborough Road on January 17. Police say neither were seriously injured.

Residents in Shirley Warren woke up to a heavy police presence over the weekend as officers remained in the area for two days.

Several police cars were parked in Sycamore Road and Chestnut Road on Sunday morning.

They were there until around 11am.

A woman woken up by police outside the address called the incident "very scary" - "something you see in movies".

Another woman said: “Living in Shirley Warren it’s not surprising seeing police raids but it’s not often we have armed police here.”
