A 32-year-old man has been arrested following a "serious incident" in Flaxmere on Monday morning.

A police operation had begun in Hawke's Bay searching for a "priority offender" who was on the run.

Armed police responded to the incident and arrested the man in Taradale on Monday afternoon.

Police said he would be facing a number of charges, and would provide more details when possible.

The incident led to a school locking itself down.

Irongate Principal Maurice Rehu confirmed the primary school had locked down around 10.40am.

The school was told by police that they could come out of lockdown at around 11am.
