A suspect accused of approaching officers with a sword is now in custody following an hours-long barricade situation in Kailua on Tuesday, authorities said.

According to Honolulu Police Department Maj. Burt Soria, officers received a report of an argument at a home in Kihapai Street around 9 a.m.

Upon arrival, a man in his 30s and a female relative in her 50s, were arguing, and the man was seen damaging property within the home, Soria said.

Police said the man then exited the home and approached the officers while carrying a sword. He refused officers’ orders to put down the sword and instead held it in an offensive manner and went back into the home.

He ignored the officers’ orders to leave the home, during which time, the woman was able to exit safely.

Crisis negotiators spoke with the man, who then surrendered at around 1:30 p.m.

He was taken to a hospital for a medical evaluation.

A few neighboring homes were evacuated, and the incident triggered several road closures in the area.

The man faces terroristic threatening and property damage charges.

There were no reports of any injuries.
