PC David Hikin was also kicked in the stomach and suffered an arm injury as Wright attempted to break loose of the cops' grasp.
The officers had gone to the house after a worried member of the public spotted a man in his back garden.
PCs Bloomfield and Hikin found Wright on the roof of a garage in the area of the complaint, which can be seen at the start of the clip.
