The area was cordoned off while more police officers were called to the scene.

After 9pm, police claim the man armed with a rifle surrendered to specialist officers and was taken into custody without incident.

The 59-year-old Newtown man will be charged with two counts of acts intended to maim or disfigure and one count each of dangerous conduct with a weapon, unlawful possession of a Category B weapon (rifle) and wilful damage of police property.

He is expected to appear in Ipswich Magistrates Court on May 13.
