Police have confirmed a man they arrested earlier this month has been banned from the Isle of Man.
They arrested him in Ramsey - officers were forced to use PAVA spray to incapacitate the man who they say 'actively resisted' arrest.
They'd stopped him as he left a pub in Parliament Street as they believed he was carrying drugs.
At a following court appearance the man admitted the offence and was sentenced to four months in prison - on his release he will be banned from the Island for five years.
Police say it was 'unfortunate' that such a display of aggression was shown and have thanked a passer-by who assisted officers during the struggle.
