A 47-year-old man was arrested by South Yorkshire Police after a 36-hour standoff at The Gateway apartment building in Sheffield. Authorities were alerted to concerns for the man, who allegedly possessed weapons and posed a danger to himself. The police conducted a thorough operation, evacuating the building and isolating residents for their safety. Many were temporarily housed in a local leisure center, suffering inconveniences such as leaving their belongings behind. Police have now reopened surrounding roads, though the apartment remains secured as investigations continue.
The Gateway apartment building was evacuated and people who lived in neighbouring buildings were asked to stay indoors while officers conducted their work.
Residents have been sealed out of their homes for 36 hours while the incident continued, as the police sent them to Ponds Forge leisure centre.
