They had received a complaint that a suspect had entered an acquaintances’ residence armed with a knife.
Police say the man was reportedly distraught and under the influence of drugs and was causing damage to the property inside.
The area was cordoned off and Extra resources were called in, including a crisis negotiator, who was able to get the man to surrender without further incident.
Fortunately no one was hurt.
