Bancroft OPP deployed a conductive energy weapon (CEW) during a response to a report of an unwanted person on Wednesday morning.
Around 10:40 a.m., officers were called to an unwanted person complaint in the community of L’Amable, just eight kilometres south of Bancroft.
Police located a 31-year-old man who they say was suffering from a mental health issue.
He allegedly injured a family member who suffered non-life-threatening injuries, OPP said.
OPP say the man would not leave the residence and began to barricade himself inside.
Members of the OPP’s Emergency Response Team and the Tactics and Rescue Unit attended to assist. Police used a CEW on the man during the arrest.
The man was taken to hospital and further transported to another medical facility, OPP said.
The investigation is ongoing by the Bancroft Crime Unit.
