Officers managed to locate the suspect and tried to detain him, but he was reportedly still armed with a knife and wasn't cooperating. Police shut down both directions of the bridge due to the situation.
The suspect was eventually taken into custody just after 7 a.m.
The bridge has since been reopened.
