A man was taken into custody by the East County Tactical Team on Thursday morning in Livermore after allegedly assaulting people inside a Springtown house and barricading himself inside a bedroom for several hours.
The Livermore Police Department said the first call came in just before 4 a.m. Thursday (Feb. 8) about a 27-year-old man beating two adults inside a home on Woodrose Way. Additional details about the circumstances of the assault were not released.
The suspect, whose name has not been revealed publicly, proceeded to hole up inside an upstairs bedroom while the two victims were taken to an area hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
The man allegedly barricaded himself in the house for several hours, leading to the East County Tactical Team regional law enforcement unit responding. Livermore police issued an advisory on social media around 6:30 a.m. for people to avoid the area near Central Avenue south of Scenic Avenue due to the yet-unspecified police response with “no threat to the public.”
“With help from the East County Tactical Team, around 8 a.m., the suspect was taken into custody. He will be transported to Santa Rita Jail,” police said, declining to reveal additional details about what tactical intervention strategies were ultimately used.
The man was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and resisting arrest, according to police, who said they would be turning the case over to the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office for consideration of charges.
