Man Arrested After 7 Hour Siege

BY IAN CROUCH

 A man has been arrested following a 7-hour siege at Hamilton South.

The 48-year-old barricaded himself inside his Fowler Street unit, arming himself with knives just before 9.30 last night.

Negotiators were brought in but he refused to come out, with officers forced to enter the unit to arrest him just after 4 this morning.
