The Dunedin Armed Offenders' squad and a communications van was called out shortly after 2pm to assist Oamaru police at the incident in Arthur St, which ended peacefully at about 4.15pm when the man gave himself up and was taken to Oamaru police station to be interviewed.
About a dozen armed offenders officers, along with Oamaru police, some of whom were called back from duty in the Waitaki Valley for Labour weekend, and an ambulance were at the incident.
Arthur St was blocked off with police cars and road spikes at each end with Stuart St and Awamoa Rd.
