Richmond Police responded to a barricade situation on Park Crest Drive Monday afternoon that ended with officers taking a man into custody.
Officer Makenzie Davis said police received a report earlier in the day about a person who was reportedly suicidal and homicidal. Officers engaged in a brief pursuit near several car dealerships.
Davis said the man was wearing body armor and had some type of weapon, possibly a knife. Police contained him in or around his vehicle and set up a perimeter.
The situation unfolded around 1 p.m. near the Save A Lot Bypass in the Ash Park area.
Shortly after 2 p.m., police confirmed that officers took the man into custody without incident.
Authorities have not released his name.
This remains a developing story.
