DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — SWAT was on the scene of a home in Dayton on Thursday morning.
Montgomery County Regional Dispatch reportedly received a domestic violence call shortly before 2 a.m. on Thursday, May 4.
According to Major Christopher Malson with the Dayton Police Department, police responded to a home on Queens Avenue and then around 3:30 a.m. SWAT was called.
Maj. Malson reported a 911 call advised that a son had assaulted his mother and threatened her with a knife.
When officers arrived on the scene, they found that the mother had already exited the home. Maj. Malson reported that she did not have any major injuries. The son was reportedly still in the house, refusing to come out.
Police and SWAT made several attempts to get the man to come out and even spoke with him on the phone.
Around 7 a.m., the man exited the home and was taken into custody without incident.
“We were talking with him throughout most of the night, trying to get him to come out peacefully,” said Maj. Malson. “And a lot of times it’s just taking the time and the patience and just, you know, communicating with him to get him to a point where he’s comfortable coming out. And we were able to do that this morning.”
Maj. Malson reported that the man will be facing domestic violence charges and potentially others.
