A 24-year-old man is assisting police with their inquiries following a siege at Muswellbrook.
Officers were called to a home on Tarakan Avenue at about 11.30pm where they were confronted by a man armed with knives.
Negotiators and officers from the State Protection Unit were called in and the man eventually surrendered without incident at about 2.00am.
A woman and child inside the home were not harmed during the siege.
