It is believed the alleged hostage situation had a domestic violence nature after an argument between a couple quickly escalated at around 11pm last night, 11 April.
Unverified reports stated the woman was ‘held hostage’ inside the house at knife point by her former partner.
This could however not be verified as the incident was later reported as a domestic violence dispute.
The police were deployed to the house where they met up with the couple.
A sensitive approach by police defused the situation and officers were able to peacefully step in and control the situation.
The man was later arrested after the woman opened a case of assault with the intention to cause grievous bodily harm (GBH) and malicious damage to property (MDP) against the man.
