Halifax Regional Police say they have arrested a man who was the subject of an emergency alert and believed to be armed and dangerous.

Forty-nine-year-old David John Campbell was arrested without incident after he turned himself in to police Wednesday in Dartmouth.

Police issued an emergency alert on Tuesday about a man believed to be armed and dangerous, after reports that people had been threatened in the area of Gaston Road in Dartmouth.

The man eluded capture and in response police temporarily closed the road and warned people to stay indoors.

Police asked people to call 911 if they spotted the fugitive and to avoid approaching him.
