A man is in Auckland Hospital and expected to face charges after an armed incident in the Auckland suburb of Grey Lynn today.
Auckland City District Commander Superintendent Karyn Malthus said the incident was resolved after the police entered a property in Great North Rd and used a Taser and a police dog to apprehend the man.
This followed armed police swooping on the property shortly after 1pm today. At least 12 police vehicles and an ambulance were at the scene, according to a witness.
He said he saw police get out of their cars carrying guns.
Malthus said early this afternoon police were notified about a man who had arrived at the premises of a family harm support agency, acting aggressively and making threats to staff.
