Update 2:00 p.m. Tactical officers took the man into custody around 1 p.m. after several hours of negotiation. Police entered the home and used a Taser after the man did not comply with orders to leave the bedroom. He was taken to the hospital to be treated for injuries. After treatment, he will be arrested and booked into jail on multiple charges, police said.

Police have surrounded a Northeast Portland home after reports of a man, possibly in a mental health crisis, broke into an apartment, a spokesman said.

Officers responded to a home before 8 a.m. Monday at the 600 block of Northeast 30th Street. They closed traffic between Oregon and Hoyt streets. Officers evacuated nearby apartment units and closed off portions of Oregon Park.

Sgt. Pete Simpson said a man approached a woman walking a dog while he was fondling himself. The man then entered an unlocked City of Portland vehicle parked nearby and was instructed by the employee to get out.

The man then broke into the apartment that was occupied, Simpson said. While the resident ran out the home yelling about the break in, the man entered a second apartment that was unoccupied.

Officers at the scene, for about an hour, have been trying to persuade the man to come out. They are using a patrol vehicle's bullhorn and telling the man that he will not be hurt if he follows instructions and exits the home.

A police dog unit is at the scene along with on-duty members of the Crisis Negotiation Team and the Special Emergency Reaction Team.

Michelle Wuerthner, a nearby resident of three years, said the park for the most part is peaceful. She has noticed since the start of the summer an uptick in new homeless people who park their cars along the perimeter of the park to sleep over night.

A few weeks ago, a man was found dead on a park bench from an apparent heroin overdose, she said.

Simpson said officers would continue to attempt to persuade the man to exit, but officers may force their way into the home.
