A man has been charged with several domestic violence offences after police swarmed a residential street in the Blue Mountains.
Armed police, along with fire and rescue services were called to Lurline Street in Katoomba about 10am Tuesday following concerns for the welfare of a woman at the property.
Police were told the woman had allegedly been threatened by a man known to her before she ran away.
NSW Ambulance dispatched seven crews to the scene and the unit block was evacuated.
One of the crews took the woman to Blue Mountains Hospital, an ambulance spokesman said.
Police say she had minor injuries.
Just before 2pm, tactical police burst into the home and arrested a 44-year-old man before taking him to Katoomba Police Station.
Police will allege in court the man was armed with a hatchet at the time.
He was charged with taking/detaining a person with intent to obtain advantage causing actual bodily harm, assault occasioning actual bodily harm (domestic violence), choking a person with intent to commit an indictable offence and assaulting an officer in the execution of duty (domestic violence).
He was refused bail and will appear at Penrith Local Court on Wednesday.
Earlier, when the area was blocked off for the operation, police were telling people to avoid the area.
Nearby residents were also told to leave.
