Armed police descended on a residential area of West Auckland this afternoon after a man threatened another with a gun.
Police have arrested one person and confiscated their slug gun.
Video of the incident shows an armed officer shuffling a worried woman and young child into a bus shelter. Other armed officers can be seen taking up positions behind a truck and a fence at the end of a driveway.
Earlier, a witness told the Herald she saw at least six police cars outside the West Harbour Fire Station just before 1pm.
