A teenager has been tasered by police after he allegedly confronted an officer with a knife while breaking into a police station in northern NSW.

Police were called to a domestic incident on Sunday night where they spoke to a woman and patrolled the area for a 16-year-old boy.

The officer returned to the Bundarra Police Station at around 10:30pm when the alarm went off and police say he was met by the teenager armed with a knife.

The officer called in extra help while negotiating with the teen.

He followed him to a local park where the officer used pepper spray on the boy, who threatened to harm himself before other officers arrived and used the Taser on him.

The teenager has been charged with aggravated break and enter, assaulting police, resisting arrest and using a weapon to avoid apprehension and break and enter.
