The Saskatoon Police Service said officers were Friday at the scene where a person was barricaded inside an apartment complex at the 300 block of Pendygrasse Road.
Officers said the incident started around 12:30 am when they got a report of a man armed with a knife threatening to harm others.
Police said they tried to negotiate with the 54-year-old man for several hours, but that he refused to comply and that he was acting erratically.
