A man wearing a Head Hunters shirt has been arrested after armed police swarmed to a house on Auckland's North Shore on Tuesday morning.
Police said they were called to a residential address on Sartors Ave in Browns Bay following reports of an assault.
A police spokesperson said the victim left the address and hasn't sustained serious injuries.
When police arrived at the property a male became aggressive towards officers and made multiple threats.
"Cordons were put in place and the Police Negotiating Team was deployed," the spokesperson said.
Police thank those living within the cordons for their cooperation and say they will be lifted in "due course".
A Newshub cameraman said police arrested a man wearing a Head Hunters shirt.
It comes after a woman in a local community group said she lives near the incident and police were trying to get people inside another house to come out.
A local told Newshub armed police were going to a property down a long driveway. The resident also said an officer told her to stay inside.
