Police were involved in a three-hour stand-off at a house in Anagh Coar last night.

Officers were called to the house shortly after 6pm after concerns for 40-year-old man’s welfare.

A police spokesman said: ’We were called to the house with concerns that the man needed help but he didn’t want to come out.

’He eventually came out of his own accord and was arrested but was taken to hospital.

’He is now back in police custody.’

The spokesman said that no details could be given regarding any charges yet.
