Man barricades himself in apartment with child, negotiators and SWAT involved

SWAT, medical and negotiators were on the scene.

TOLEDO, Ohio — Police were called to the scene of a Toledo area apartment late Thursday night after two individuals got into a physical altercation with a weapon involved.

A woman was at 51-year-old resident Darrick Hayes' apartment when Hayes threatened her with a weapon during an argument. When police arrived, Hayes pushed the woman out of his apartment and locked the door. The woman's 10-year-old child was still in the apartment with Hayes. 

Police maintained the perimeter around the apartment and, in addition to the negotiator on scene, called out another negotiator and a medical team. SWAT was also called on to the scene.
