Early Sunday morning, Somerville Police and SWAT/North Eastern Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council (NEMLEC) Teams were called in on a reported standoff, man with a knife located at 12 george Street in Somerville.

The man has barricaded himself in the home and is allegedly suffering from psychiatric problems and was described as delusional during the time of standoff.
Alleged reports are telling us that when this originated, it was a domestic dispute gone bad.

After four hours, the SRT disarmed the subject and placed him in custody without further incident.
The subject was transported to an area hospital. He is not being charged with any criminal offense.
