The man, believed to be the father of the girl, was arrested outside the Commonwealth Law Courts building at the corner of La Trobe and William streets.
The Age believes he had gone with his two other children to the building.
A witness at the court told The Age that the man and his two children were in a "distressed state''.
The Age believes the family was part of a family law dispute in the Federal Magistrates Court earlier this week, and the man returned to the court unexpectedly this morning.
A caller to radio 3AW said he saw four or five police, including one with his gun drawn, surround a man on the ground outside the court building.
