Police arrested a 31-year-old man in Auckland last night after reports of a 'hostage situation'.
Police said they were initially called to assist with a domestic incident but the Armed Offenders Squad was deployed because of concerns a firearm may have been involved.
A teacher at Glen Eden Intermediate posted on Facebook that armed police were negotiating with the man.
"A hostage situation, that's why the officers were negotiating, saying we want to help you."
