He faces three charges of male assaults female, one of threatening to kill, contravening a protection order, and two charges of unlawfully possessing a firearm.
He was due to appear in the Waitakere District Court this morning.
In a statement this morning, police said the man was the only occupant of the house, and no-one else was inside the property during the incident. It followed reports that the incident was a "hostage situation". But police said this morning that was not the case.
Inspector Claire Humble, Acting Area Commander of Waitakere Police, praised both the actions of the officers involved and the Titirangi community.
"I know that the presence of armed police officers near anyone's home is alarming and we thank the residents who quickly and calmly followed police instructions during the course of last night's response.
"We approach any incident that may involve firearms with extreme caution and the staff who were in control of last night's response did a fantastic job to bring this to a swift and safe
Lola Olson and her two daughters, Leilani, 15, and Stella, 10, were watching TV when she heard noises outside.
"I saw a cop car just right here with the guns pointing, with the dog," Ms Olson said.
She quickly shut the window and told her kids something was going on, before seeing more police with guns outside.
"I got scared. I said to the cops, 'What's happened?' He goes, 'Just stay inside the house, there's something going on. Get down'."
Ms Olson shut all the windows and told her daughters to get down.
Two minutes later there was a hard knock on the window, and an armed policeman told her they needed to get out of the house.
"So we [were] escorted from the back of our house with some cops with shields and guns and we had to hop over the fence."
Police then told her they needed to use the inside of her house to get a clear view through to the neighbour's house.
"It was quite terrifying when you've seen a lot of cops with guns around here and you don't know what's going on."
She said a policeman was shouting over an intercom at the neighbour to get out of the house.
Ms Olson said the neighbour was swearing back, saying: "Just get the f**k out of here."
"He didn't want to come out."
Meadowvale Rise resident Sid Puri told the Herald the man at the centre of the incident had only lived at the property for about two weeks.
Mr Puri and other neighbours standing outside the cordon said they heard three sharp shots which they initially believed was gunfire. Police threw tear gas canisters into the house before officers were heard shouting: "Put your hands up!"
"I could see him coming down the stairs ... and then this guy raised his hands, he comes out and he was wearing a white vest ... and then the cops took him on the ground. There were dogs all over the place."
Mr Puri said two houses immediately next to the man's property were evacuated.
Glen Eden Intermediate teacher Fiona Backhouse posted on Facebook that the area was locked down from about 6.20pm. "Major command unit set up at back of school. Over loud speaker they were stating we are armed! It's directed at a certain house. Won't say what number. A hostage situation. Jesus, that's why the officers were negotiating, saying we want to help you. Hope she gets out ok."
CIB detectives remained at the house last night, which was under police guard.
The cordon was eventually removed just before 9pm.
