This is the moment a man was arrested in Fuengirola after standing on the edge of a roof and shouting expletives.

The English-speaking individual was filmed screaming ‘get the f*** off my porch’ late on Tuesday night, adding: ‘You’ve got like five seconds…’

Talking to someone below him and out of the camera’s view, he then counts to five in Spanish before seeminly banging on the roof tiles.

He then tells who ever is below him – possibly police officers – to ‘f*** off!’

It is not clear if the shirtless man was standing on his own roof or that of someone else’s.

His nationality is also unknown at time of reporting, but he spoke in English with a northern European accent.

In a later clip shared by Instagram page @Fuengirolasequeja, the individual is seen being led away by multiple Policia Nacional officers.

The dramatic incident occurred in the area of Los Pacos.

According to witnesses, police officers had been negotiating with the man in a bid to get him to come down safely.

It is not yet known what he has been arrested for.
