Police then searched a property on the road and found a number of weapons in the man's bedroom including a decommissioned firearm, an axe, mace and chain, bb guns and an assortment of knives.
The man was taken to a police station in Merseyside for questioning by detectives and remains in custody.
Detective Inspector Nick Suffield said: “This is just one example of the high level of threat officers face when responding to emergencies to protect our communities.
“Thanks to their bravery several dangerous weapons that could have endangered the lives of others have been taken off our streets.
“We have unfortunately in recent months seen the catastrophic consequences of knife crime on Merseyside. We simply will not stand by and allow people to carry knives and threaten the safety of themselves and others.
“We are committed to removing knives and all dangerous weapons from our streets and putting the people prepared to carry them before the courts.
“We have also carried out regular stop searches, warrants and open land searches to locate knives and ensure those who store, carry and use them are brought to justice.
“If you have any information about anyone carrying or using a dangerous weapon in your area please don’t hesitate to contact us.”
