An Isle of Man Constabulary spokesperson said: "At 10.50am today Police responded to a report of a domestic dispute at an address in Murrays Road, Douglas.
"The available information was assessed and it was determined that it was necessary to deploy armed response officers, supported by unarmed officers and Police negotiators to the scene.
"In order to negate any risk to those involved, the officers and with consideration of the wider public, closed the road temporarily and a nearby school was informed of the situation.
"The matter was resolved by 3:10pm with the arrest of a male, and the road was re-opened.
"It is regrettable that this incident caused some minor degree of impact to the community but this was in order to ensure they were not placed at risk and to effectively apprehend a suspect."
