Help from the public has led to the arrest of a wanted man at Mayfield.
Members of the community called police after the 21-year-old was noticed in Fawcett Street on Tuesday afternoon.
It's alleged he knocked on a resident's door and forced his way inside, running through the home into the backyard before running off.
He then hailed taxi which was stopped by police on Crebert Street.
The man fled the cab and ran through several yards before being arrested.
It's alleged he had two knives in his possession.
The Gateshead man's been charged with 8 offences and refused bail to face Newcastle Local Court today (Wednesday 14 July, 2021).
