Armed man who barricaded himself inside Miramar home taken into custody, police say

A man armed with a knife who barricaded himself inside a home in Miramar on Friday afternoon was safely taken into custody, according to police.

Few details have been released, but police said the incident took place in the 7500 block of Juniper Street.

Police said officers made several attempts to contact the man and get him to exit the home, but those efforts were unsuccessful.

Because of that, police said a callout for additional resources was made, and additional law enforcement, including a SWAT team, responded to the scene.

A neighbor told CBS News Miami that there is a man in his 20s who lives at the home with his mother and has struggled with mental health issues in the past.

"I'm coming down home and I see a swarm of police cars and I called my mom immediately  and I'm like, 'I don't know what's going on, but stay inside and stay safe," Rochaya Reid said.

Police said that after hours of negotiations, the barricaded man was safely taken into custody.
