A police stand-off has ended after a man allegedly took a woman and a baby hostage in an apartment complex.
Specialist police burst into the home on Belvoir Street in Surry Hills, Sydney, on Sunday morning and arrested a 36-year-old man more than 10 hours after arriving at the scene.
The woman and the baby were allegedly taken hostage about 9:30pm on Saturday.
The 36-year-old was taken to St Vincents Hospital under police guard while the woman and child were unharmed.
