CONSHOHOCKEN, PA — Police arrested a man Monday afternoon after he allegedly threatened multiple people with a knife and barricaded himself in an apartment building.

Officers were dispatched to the 400 block of Spring Mill Avenue at approximately 3:24 p.m. for a report of a male wielding a knife and threatening individuals.

When officers arrived, they learned the man had entered an apartment building where he resides.

The subject refused repeated commands to exit and began throwing items from a second-floor doorway and window onto a grassy area adjacent to the building.

After a brief standoff, officers utilized less-lethal measures to subdue the individual.

The man was taken into custody without further incident.

He was transported to a local hospital for evaluation and treatment.

Charges are pending, according to Police Chief David Lennon.
