A suspect who allegedly attacked family members then holed up in a South Angeles home was taken into custody Monday after a six-hour standoff.
Officers were called around 6 a.m. to a report of an assault with a deadly weapon suspect in the 1000 block of East 53rd Street, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
According to a broadcast report, family members got out of the home safely, but the suspect, who is in his early 20s, remained barricaded and threatened self harm.
A SWAT team was sent to the scene to help coax the man’s surrender.
He gave up shortly before noon and was taken to a hospital.
An officer said it was unclear if he would be booked.
