The suspect faces charges of attempted murder.
Police say the man opened fire on officers when they responded to a complaint that someone had discharged a firearm at a house in the area.
Officers returned fire wounding the suspect in the leg. He was taken to hospital under police guard and will appear in court once discharged from hospital.
A 9mm firearm licensed to him was recovered and will be sent for ballistic tests to establish if it was used in any other crimes in the area.
