As the situation unfolded, one officer was stabbed in the foot, CPS said. He was taken to hospital with minor injuries and released after receiving treatment.

On Thursday, police said negotiators were brought in to communicate with the man who had barred himself alone in his home and de-escalate the situation.

One man was eventually arrested following the disturbance and police said charges are pending.
