A man has been charged after allegedly threatening police officers with knives at his home in Muswellbrook last night.
Officers were called to a unit on Skellatar Street around 8:30pm after receiving a noise complaint.
When they arrived at the property they were confronted by a 44-year-old man, who police say was heavily intoxicated and armed with two knives, moving towards the officers and threatening to stab them.
Police paged for urgent assistance and began negotiating with the man - a short time later he dropped the weapons and was arrested.
He will face Muswellbrook Local Court today.
