A siege in Geelong has ended peacefully after four hours with heavily armed police restraining a man and leading him out of a Whittington house.
The Critical Incident Response Team attended the home on Monday after receiving reports just before 6am that a man was threatening self-harm.
Around 9.45am a police officer and police dog approached the house and shortly afterwards the man was led to a police van with his hands restrained behind his back.
The man yelled at paramedics briefly before he was driven away.
Around six police vehicles and a dozen officers attended the incident.
Challenger Close, which had been blocked off, was reopened around 10am.
