A man was taken from his home in Tilburg on Sunday evening by a number of heavily armed police officers. The police received signals that he was going to use violence, after which it was decided to overpower the man.
More people were present in the house on Lange Schijfstraat, presumably family of the man, a police spokesman said. As a precaution, the area was cordoned off by the police and an ambulance was dispatched to the scene.
Police could not say what the man threatened with in connection with the investigation. The man is offered psychological help. The police is investigating the case.
