The Sunnybank hostage situation has been diffused after 26 hours of police negotiation.

4BC Reporter Laura Anderson reported to Deborah Knight the captor was taken into police custody.

“After 26 hours of negotiation, the man is in handcuffs and is in custody now and the woman and child have been escorted out now and they are A-OK; perfectly safe.

Police have confirmed the woman and child were known to the man, but have not clarified how.

“He was shirtless, he appeared to have a wound on his stomach area, he had a cap on so it was difficult to see his face but he was in handcuffs and in the hands of police.”

Police have now revoked the emergency declaration.
