An emergency declaration was made in Bridgeman Downs at about 7.15am on Tuesday, after police received reports an armed man was inside a home.

At about 9am, an unarmed man wearing a plain ****** T-shirt was escorted down the driveway of a Bungalow St home by two police officers.

There have been no reports of injuries or shots fired during the incident.Ross Walmsley, a local resident whose street was swarmed by police – including heavily armed PSRT officers – told the Courier Mail the area was “all blocked off”.

“So you just have to wait it out for a little while … I hope no one gets hurt,” he said.

“Apparently there’s an armed man … so I guess they got to do what they got to do.”

The PSPA has since been revoked, and the man was taken into custody without further incident.

No charges have been laid.
