Residents on Wolverhampton road speak out after 'intense' 24-hour siege
"I've never experienced anything like that before".
These are the words of a resident of Moathouse Lane West, Wednesfield, which was flooded with armed police at around 1pm on Friday at the start of a day-long siege.
Police say a man had barricaded himself into a property on the road, with specialist firearms officers called and nearby roads cordoned off.
The siege was brought to an end at around 12.35pm on Saturday when a 38-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of threats to kill.
The safe conclusion of the incident is likely to have been a relief for many, with some residents claiming on Saturday morning that they had been unable to access their homes since the previous afternoon.
