A man who threatened a police constable with a knife before launching missiles at officers during a dangerous rooftop standoff has been jailed for over two years.

Jamie Stones became aggressive towards officers when they attended his home on Burgoyne Road during an arrest attempt as the 35-year-old tried to barricade the door to prevent them from entering.

He then lunged at officers with a knife before climbing onto the roof of the property and hurling tiles at officers on the street below.
