Man arrested after three-hour siege west of Brisbane

Tactical police have arrested a man after a three-hour siege at Collingwood Park, west of Brisbane.

A member of the Westpac bank came with a bailiff to the man's home on McCormack Court earlier today to issue a repossession warrant for the home.

The 39-year-old man refused to answer the door and police were called.

When they arrived the man allegedly swung a machete at an officer.

The officer drew his firearm but then retreated and called in tactical police and negotiators.

Heavily-armed police were on the scene from around 11am with a police dog wearing body armour.

Residents were asked to stay indoors and surrounding streets were closed.

The man allegedly then lit a fire in the front bedroom, but was forced to stick his head out the window to escape the smoke.

Tactical police then moved in and arrested him.

He is expected to be charged with several offences.
