Three people have been arrested after a man was allegedly held captive and tortured at a home in Sydney’s west.
A perimeter was established around a home on Webb Street in North Parramatta as police attempted to negotiate with the occupants overnight.
“You are surrounded by heavily armed officers, they are here for your safety, you need to follow my instructions very carefully,” police could be heard saying into a speaker.
“Come to the front door with nothing in your hands, open the door and exit.”
Two men and a woman eventually surrendered following the half-hour siege as stunned neighbours watched on.
“All hell had broken loose down there and I could hear police trying to coax someone from inside,” one nearby resident told 9News.
“It’s scary actually because it’s a good area,” another said.
Meanwhile, another man had collapsed around the corner and was being helped by detectives just around the corner.
He was allegedly held hostage inside the home and beaten, threatened and tortured, possibly for several days.
He was rushed to hospital, where he is currently recovering.
Police are trying to piece together why the man was allegedly targeted.
A strike force has been established as police investigate. No charges have been laid.
