A man suspected of domestic violence drew Long Beach police into an hours-long standoff Friday morning before SWAT officers went into an Alamitos Beach apartment and arrested him, officials said.

The situation began around 8 a.m. when authorities got a call about domestic violence at an apartment building on Orange Avenue just north of 4th Street, police said.

The man barricaded himself in an apartment, so officers cordoned off the area and evacuated a few units in the complex, Long Beach Police Department spokeswoman Arantxa Chavarria said.

Police tried to get the man to come outside, but he refused, according to authorities.

After a few hours, SWAT officers and a K9 entered the apartment and arrested the man, police said.

The suspect suffered a minor injury during the arrest, Chavarria said.

The victim of the suspected domestic violence was already out of the apartment and is OK, Long Beach Police Sgt. John Hotchkiss said.
