A man allegedly armed with a knife has been charged with attempted murder following 18 hours of negotiations with police.
The 57-year-old was tasered and taken into custody early on Tuesday morning at a Queensland coastal town, with a police officer suffering a minor arm injury.
Officers were called to a Urangan property at Hervey Bay north of Brisbane, about 12pm on Monday and found the armed man making threats, police say.
Police began negotiations and six hours later a Public Safety Preservation Act was declared, introducing an exclusion zone encompassing nearby streets.
Negotiations continued overnight and the man was taken into custody about 6.45am the next morning on Tuesday after being tasered.
"During the interactions, the man sustained a minor injury to his head and was transported to hospital," police said.
The man has been charged with 10 offences including two counts of attempted murder and four counts of serious assault police officer whilst armed with a weapon.
He was refused police bail and set to appear in Hervey Bay Magistrates Court on Wednesday.
