An apartment building in Hollywood was evacuated Tuesday while police investigated a reported threat that someone was going to burn the structure down, but a suspect was later arrested with damage or injuries reported.
Officers were sent to the 1500 block of North Serrano Avenue about 8:45 a.m., according to the Los Angeles Police Department. Arriving officers smelled natural gas and asked firefighters to respond as a precaution, police said.
The building was evacuated while an investigation was conducted, but police said the order was lifted by early afternoon and a suspect was taken into custody.
No information was immediately available about the person who was arrested.
