Negotiations with the "armed man" began on Monday at around 7pm when officers were called to a building in Broad Street following "concerns for a man who was alleged to have weapons and pose a risk to himself", which led to nearby properties being evacuated.
In an update released shortly after 8am, police said a 47-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of affray, criminal damage, possession of a firearm, threats to kill and communicate with a bomb hoax.
A man has been arrested on suspicion of firearms offences, including "threats to kill and communicate with a bomb hoax" - almost three days into a stand-off with armed police in Sheffield.
Today (Wednesday 12 February) a 47-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of affray, criminal damage, possession of a firearm, threats to kill and communicate with a bomb hoax.
South Yorkshire Police said earlier this morning that negotiators were still talking to the man, but that Sheffield Parkway had re-opened in both directions and public transport has resumed as normal following closures.
