WELLINGTON, Sept. 16 (Xinhuanet) -- Bomb scare in a New Zealand hotel ended early Friday with the arrest of a man who threatened to blow up himself and a hotel.

    The man was arrested after armed police entered the Devonport Towers building in the north port city Tauranga.

    Police said the man did not resist and there were no injuries to him or police. A fake bomb was found in his room.

    Hundreds of people were herded from streets Thursday in the heart of the city after the man demanded to talk to Prime Minister Helen Clark and threatened to detonate a bomb.

    The 57-year-old man was due to appear in Tauranga District Court today on various charges of burglary and threatening to kill and/or causing grievous bodily harm.

    The police said investigation into the incident will continue and other charges may follow. Enditem
