An 18 year old man has been arrested and charged after police, called out to reports of two people arguing in Connorton Avenue, Ashmont, allegedly arrived to find him with a machete.
The man was reportedly refusing to leave the premises, officers established a perimeter and negotiated with the man, before he surrendered the weapon, and was taken back to the police station.
He's been charged with domestic-violence related assault, two counts of intimidation, and being armed with intent to commit an indictable offence.
He's was granted strict conditional bail to front court in October.
