Following a roughly four-and-a-half-hour standoff, the accused was taken into police custody after officers obtained a Feeney Warrant, which gives police the power to enter a home to place someone under arrest.
No injuries were reported.
The 47-year-old man taken into custody faces two counts of assault with a weapon, two counts of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, and carrying a concealed weapon.
Police did not provide details surrounding the alleged assaults, other than to confirm it involved two individuals.
