No injuries after a stand-off in the downtown area.

A man kept police at bay in a Lloyd Street apartment for most of yesterday.

Police were called about a family dispute at around 8:30 am and when they got to the scene, they found a man had barricaded himself inside a 3rd floor apartment.

There were media reports from the scene that the man was armed, but police have not yet confirmed that.

Negotiators were brought in and managed to convince the man to give himself up by mid-afternoon.

Charges are pending.
