An armed man who had threatened to kill policemen and hurt himself was apprehended by police after a nearly six-hour standoff.
At around 3 p.m., a person who was upset over a recent arrest called the North Haven Police Department.
According to authorities, the caller threatened to kill officers, hurt himself, and force a cop suicide.
After responding to the upper 100 block of Montowese Avenue, officers discovered that there was another person inside the house.
The uninvolved person was taken out of the house after police set up a cordon around it.
Negotiators attempted to persuade the suspect to submit quietly after confining the house’s lone resident.
Armed with several huge knives, the suspect complied with cops’ orders to surrender and left the house.
The suspect is accused of threatening and interfering with law enforcement.
The person was taken to a nearby hospital for assessment.
Neither the officers nor the suspect were hurt in the event.
Throughout the incident, the police departments of East Haven, Branford, and North Branford offered aid.
