Brad Parscale, the former manager of Donald Trump's digital campaign efforts, was wrestled to the ground and arrested by Fort Lauderdale police following a standoff with authorities.

Footage of the arrest was made public by the Fort Lauderdale Police Department.

Officers removed 10 guns from his home following a police standoff on Sunday in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Amoung the weapons recovered from the former Trump staffer's home were several pistols, a shotgun, and a rifle, according to the South Florida Sun Sentinel.

The standoff began when Candice Parscale, Mr Parscale’s wife, called police after fleeing from her home. She said she was afraid Mr Parscale was going to kill himself after he pulled out a gun during an argument they were having.

When police arrived, they found Ms Parscale had suffered bruises and cuts she attributed to injuries Mr Parscale had given her earlier in the week.

Eventually, Mr Parscale was arrested after a police officer who claimed he was a “personal friend” of Mr Parscale’s convinced him to leave his home.
