A 46-year-old man has died in hospital following an incident in Frankston North this week.
Police attended a property on Hickory Crescent on Thursday afternoon as part of an active investigation.
The Frankston North man subsequently barricaded himself inside the house about 4.40pm.
Members of the Critical Incident Response Team then attended and attempted to negotiate with the man.
Shortly before 8pm police attempted to enter the property and were confronted by the man armed with knives and in an agitated state.
Police continued to attempt to negotiate with him however were unsuccessful.
The man was confrontational and as a result, he was tasered multiple times to no avail and subsequently flexible baton rounds were used.
The man was then provided with immediate medical care when he appeared to become unresponsive during his arrest.
He was taken to hospital where he died this morning.
No one else was in the property at the time of the incident and no one else was injured.
Homicide Squad detectives will prepare a report for the coroner, which is standard procedure following a death in custody.
The investigation will be oversighted by Professional Standards Command.
