POLICE were spotted "chasing a man with a Taser" in a usually quiet Southampton road. 

Residents have reported a man being chased by officers armed with a Taser in Heysham Road in the Shirley area of the city.

Two patrol cars have been parked up outside a house for the "last two days".

They remain in the area today, however, residents have said they are getting concerned.

UPDATE: Hundreds of plants seized following cannabis factory raid at Southampton home 

One man who wished to remain unnamed said: "I saw the police chasing someone down. The cars have been here for two days now. It’s usually a quiet street but I don’t what is going on."

Another added: "The police were chasing a man with Taser in the early hours of the morning."

The Daily Echo has contacted Hampshire Constabulary for further details.
