Two men have been arrested on suspicion of aggravated burglary and robbery in Armagh city on Saturday night, June 21.
At around 10.20pm, specialist support police officers on mobile patrol observed an altercation near Glenside flats.
Two men started to run off and, following an on-foot pursuit, one of the males jumped off a bridge to the rocks below with the other in the river.
Officers swiftly apprehended both men, aged 39 and 36, and made the arrests.
