Gardaí successfully resolved a critical domestic incident in which a man, brandishing a large knife, had barricaded himself and his partner into their home.

After a four-hour standoff, during which specialist negotiators tried in vain to talk the man down, armed officers forced their way in and disarmed him without anyone being physically injured.
