A man has died and another is in custody after a welfare check allegedly turned into a stand-off with police.
NSW Police were called to a unit on Goonoo Goonoo Road in Tamworth, in the state’s north, about 4.30pm on Saturday following reports of a concern for welfare.
Officers arrived to find a 47-year-old man with critical head injuries and a 55-year-old man allegedly armed with a knife.
The 47-year-old man was treated at the scene and rushed to Tamworth Base Hospital where he was declared dead.
Meanwhile, the 55-year-old man allegedly locked himself inside a bedroom before climbing onto the roof of the home.
More to come.
