Details of the Incident
A viewer called NBC6 at around 4:15 a.m. to report that police had been outside the apartment on Pennsylvania Avenue between 13th and 14th streets for hours.

Reason Behind the Barricade
According to neighbors, the person detained was upset with people having a party in a courtyard area. "He’s had numerous run-ins with the cops. They’re always here for him. And I guess the straw was tonight… there was some people throwing a little party out front, and he went and flipped the table, and it landed on a little girl, and the little girl started bleeding," Micah Smith, who lives nearby, said. "That’s when he went and barricaded himself inside."
Investigation
The police investigation cleared around 5 a.m. NBC6 cameras did capture a table flipped over in a courtyard area of the complex. Authorities have not confirmed the details or the man’s name.
