A Whangarei man allegedly held his partner and a young child hostage this morning.
Police were called out to a Tikipunga address at around 8am after a man barricaded himself in a room with the woman and child.
The man who allegedly had a knife eventually let the woman and child go after negotiating with police.
The man soon followed and was arrested without incident.
