LAS VEGAS -- A situation involving a man barricaded in an apartment near Swenson Street and Flamingo Road ended with the suspect surrendering to police.

Metro Police responded to an apartment building on the 3900 block of Swenson just before 7 a.m. after a woman reported that a man armed with an ax was chasing her. Police said the woman did not know the man and was able to get away and call police.

A SWAT team was called to the scene and traffic was diverted as police negotiated with the man. The suspect did leave the apartment and surrender to police.
