A police incident that started in Butler County early Sunday morning ended with a roughly three-hour standoff in Pittsburgh’s North Side neighborhood.
Pittsburgh officers went to the 100 block of Parkhurst Street, near Allegheny General Hospital, just before 5 a.m. to help Cranberry and state police after a man barricaded himself inside a residence, following a traffic pursuit and incident in Cranberry.
No information on the Cranberry incident was provided.
Because the man was barricaded and making threats against police, Pittsburgh SWAT responded to the scene, a Pittsburgh police spokesperson said.
The man, who was not identified, was taken into custody without incident just before 8 a.m. and taken to the Allegheny County Jail.
The man is expected to face charges for the incident in Cranberry as well as the pursuit and SWAT situation, the police spokesperson said.
