The woman in her 40s from Rochester who didn't want to be named, said: "As I drove past there were two police cars parked outside with their lights flashing.

"A man, who looked to be a young man, was sitting on the pavement and the police officers were talking to him.

"He looked a bit dishevelled, I was not sure if he had fallen over or had been injured in some other way.

"When I drove back down about half-an-hour later, there was just one police car parked outside the address."

Police spokesman James Walker added: "Officers have attended the scene and detained a man in his 20s, who remains in custody as inquiries continue."
