A 21-year-old man has been remanded in custody on an assault charge, after he appeared to hold a woman hostage with a weapon in central Dunedin.
A police spokesman said a police negotiation team, the armed offenders squad and two Fire and Emergency New Zealand appliances attended the incident inBath St, about 9.25pm on Friday.
He said there was a physical argument between a man and woman involving a weapon (not a firearm) at a residential apartment.
“During the course of the argument, it appears the man tried to stop the woman from leaving the house.
“However, with the assistance of emergency services, she was able to leave without incident.”
