A man was taken to hospital after a stand-off with police outside St. Stephen.

RCMP say they responded to a complaint of a man who threatened to harm himself with a gun at a home in Baillie on Route 3 last night.

Police say the 66-year-old man refused to drop his weapon and police tried negotiating with him for 30 minutes.

RCMP were able to disarm the man after using a taser on him.

The man was arrested, and then taken to hospital as a precaution.
