A man has been arrested after a six hour stand-off with armed police in a Gloucestershire village.

Negotiators and firearms officers were called to a property in Hasfield, near Hartpury, on Sunday shortly after 14:00 GMT where a man in his 50s was making threats to harm himself and officers.

He was arrested at about 20:20 GMT by Gloucestershire Police on suspicion of breaching a domestic violence protection order.

Nobody was injured during the incident.

The force confirmed a second person at the address is receiving "appropriate support".
