Man surrenders following SWAT situation in Upper Hill

A man surrendered to Pittsburgh police around 5:30 a.m. Monday after a SWAT incident that lasted nearly an hour in the city’s Upper Hill neighborhood.

Police responded around 4:45 a.m. to a home in the 500 block of Blessing Street for reports of a man threatening a family member. His family reported he was off his medications and behaving erratically. The suspect also had five active arrest warrants.

Officers said after they arrived he refused to exit the residence, and SWAT was able to quickly establish communications with him.

He was taken to UPMC Western Psychiatric Hospital after the incident.
