A man has been arrested following a tense standoff with police that lasted nearly 10 hours in Sydney’s inner south.
Emergency services were called to an address on Elizabeth St in Waterloo about 10.40pm on Friday, following reports of a domestic incident.
Officers found a man on the roof of the premises, allegedly armed with a knife.
A perimeter was established around the address with the assistance of the Public Order and Riot Squad.
Police told Sydneysiders to avoid the Waterloo and inner city areas as the operation was carried out.
About 8.15am on Saturday, officers arrested a 35-year-old man with assistance from negotiators and the Tactical Operations Unit.
He was then taken to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital under police guard for further assessment.
Inquiries are ongoing.
