A man has died in police custody following a confrontation with police in Melbourne.
Police arrived at a house on Boldrewood Parade in Reservoir following reports of a man threatening a woman and damaging property on Saturday morning.
The 30-year-old confronted them in an erratic and aggressive manner and refused to engage, Victoria Police said.
The area was blocked off while specialist members of the Critical Incident Response Team negotiated with him and he was eventually arrested.

The woman inside the home was not injured.
