The other woman and man were released a short time later.
Another man – who was inside the home at the time – refused to exit.
Police established a border around the home calling in resources from the Tactical Operations Unit, Police Negotiators, and Public Order and Riot Squad to assist with negotiations.
Around 2pm, a handler and dog from the Dog Unit entered the dwelling where a 26-year-old man was arrested and bitten by a dog in the process.
He was taken to Bankstown Hospital in a stable condition for treatment.

Neighbours returning home from work were left stunned, only learning of the stand off as they got caught up in traffic approaching their street.
Yanderra St resident Michael told Daily Mail Australia he watched as people were escorted from the home with the magnitude of the police presence making him fear for the worst.
‘There were so many police, they were everywhere blocking our road and at the gates,’ Michael said.
‘It’s weird, we don’t know what has happened so we see that many police and think the worst. I’m still thinking the worst.’
Another neighbour described the scenes on Thursday as ‘chaos’, adding he watched it all unfold from about 11am through his front window.
‘He just wouldn’t come out,’ the neighbour said. ‘They had cops everywhere and I think he just wouldn’t budge.’

The property at the centre of Thursday’s stand off is one of four semi detached units side by side. Cans of energy drink were strewn across the lawn with a bike and broom also on the ground and out of place
