The incident was sparked when gardaí arrived at the apartment off the Bailick Rd in Midleton shortly after 8am yesterday, to serve a bench warrant on a man who is described as a foreign national.
Superintendent John Quilter said when gardaí arrived they were threatened by the man, who then barricaded himself into a bedroom. Unknown to gardaí at the time, he was armed with a knife.
