Last night, law enforcement authorities responded to a situation on Boadle Road in Bundoora, where reports emerged of a man exhibiting erratic behavior shortly after 9:20 PM.
Upon arrival, officers attempted to engage the individual in negotiation, but he withdrew into a nearby property, refusing to cooperate or emerge.
Authorities suspect that a woman was also present inside the property with the man, adding complexity to the situation.
Despite continued efforts to communicate and reach a peaceful resolution, the negotiations did not succeed.
Ultimately, police were compelled to forcibly enter the unit, resulting in the arrest of a 33-year-old man at the scene.
He was taken to hospital under police guard with a dog bite injury.
An officer was also left with minor injuries.
The woman inside the unit was uninjured and police believe the pair are known to one another.
