Police say the standoff, at a home at Eramosa and Victoria Road, started shortly before 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday.
A woman had reported to police that she was visiting a man who then allegedly held her against her will while he was armed with a knife.
Officers surrounded the home and started negotiating with the man, who eventually came outside and was taken into custody.
