NORTH HOLLYWOOD (CNS) - A barricade situation in North Hollywood came to a peaceful end this morning when police took into custody a man suspected of being armed with knives and violating a restraining order who forced his way into a home.
The arrest came about 2:05 a.m., when the man finally surrendered to police, Los Angeles police officer F. Gonzalez said.

The residents escaped unharmed, Cooper said. Police then set up a perimeter and began trying to make contact with the man, Cooper said.
