POLICE offered to take a man 'home' after they were called to a flat following reports he was armed with a knife and refusing to leave, an inquest jury was told.
The body-worn video footage of officers at the scene was played to the jury again on the second day of an inquest into the death of Benjamin Connor, 30.
Mr Connor, the jury has already heard, ended up being taken by police to Cornbrook Metrolink station in the early hours. He died after he was hit by a car on the M602 motorway in Salford, around two miles away, almost three hours later after being seen walking into oncoming traffic.
Tests showed alcohol and cannabis present in his urine and blood.
