LOS ANGELES (AP) — Police Sunday used a water cannon to enter a home and arrest a domestic violence suspect after a five-hour standoff in South Los Angeles.

Police officials said the suspect pulled a gun on his girlfriend late Saturday night and she called 911.

Officers responded but the suspect refused to come out. A SWAT team was eventually called and they used the water cannon on him at about 5 a.m.

City News Service reports the man, who was not identified, was booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.

The woman was not hurt.
