Sergeant Wilkins said the man came out of a caravan with two large knives and stated he wanted police to shoot him.

“The male retreated back to the caravan for a short while whilst police attempted to negotiate with him,” Sergeant Wilkins said.

“He again exited the caravan with the knives and brandished them towards police stating he wanted police to shoot him.

“He later charged at one of the officers who deployed a taser which incapacitated the male.”

The 49-year-old was then arrested and conveyed to Dubbo Base Hospital for mental health assessment.
