Vision obtained exclusively by 9News shows heavily armed police searching the apartment before arresting the 28-year-old man.

The man came to police’s attention just after midnight when police were called after reports of a domestic disturbance between a man and a woman in a car.

The man allegedly tried to flee from police and led them on a car chase, which ended up at Kiruna Avenue in Hove.

He allegedly dumped the car at the back of an apartment complex, entering the unit of a person he did not know.

“I’m not sure. I don’t even know. I was in bed, I was in bed, I was asleep and they dragged me out of bed,” the resident told 9News.

Subsequently, specialist police officers entered the apartment and tried to negotiate him to come outside so they could arrest him.

They were eventually able to arrest him, and he is expected to be charged with several offences later today.
