Police arrested an armed man on Wednesday after he allegedly pulled out a gun and made threats at the Henry Ford Warren Hospital.

Warren Police Sgt. Jim Twardesky says the 31-year-old suspect is currently on federal probation. Twardesky says the suspect's ex-girlfriend works at the hospital.

"We recovered the firearm believed to have been used. We have been in regular contact with hospital security and conducted extra patrols in the time between the incident and the arrest," Twardesky said.

Police did not release any additional information about the suspect.

In a statement, Henry Ford Health says the Warren hospital was briefly placed on lockdown during the incident.
