Officers attended a property in Hartington place in Ilkeston just before 8 o'clock yesterday evening.
They were there to carry out a warrant under Section 135 of the Mental Health Act.
Due to the risks posed by the man, support was received by specialist police units, force negotiators and the National Police Air Service.
It was just after 4:15 in the morning that the man was safely detained and has since been arrested in connection with the incident - he remains in custody.
The man was the only person inside the address, and no other members of the public were involved in the incident.
One officer was taken to hospital with an injury but has now been discharged.
A scene still remains at the property to allow for enquiries to take place.
