Armed man arrested after being locked in Queensland house with baby | |
(35 minutes later) | |
An armed man who was locked in a south-east Queensland house with a toddler has been arrested. | |
The child was rescued from the home in Caboolture, north of Brisbane, on Thursday afternoon. | |
"The baby has just come out. I don't know how old it is, it is close to two, 19 months," a police spokeswoman said. | |
"Ambulance has just taken the child and the mother for observation. | |
"I don't know if he has any injuries. It doesn't appear so." | |
The man is believed to have fired at least one shot before police arrived at the home about 10.30am AEST. | |
The mother, 26, escaped earlier in the day, but could not take her child. | |
She was treated for minor head and facial injuries. |
