A man has been charged after allegedly spitting at two police officers in Sydney's west overnight.

Officers were called to a home in Beacroft Place, Cranebrook just after 5pm on Sunday, in response to a domestic violence concern.

When police arrived, along with members of the Public Order Riot Squad and Dog Unit, a 24-year-old man allegedly climbed onto the roof of the house and began jumping across to other roofs.
