An armed standoff ended without any injures Friday afternoon after a man barricaded himself inside a home in the West Humboldt Park neighborhood.

Officers were called at noon to an intoxicated man armed with a knife or a gun in the 1300 block of North Kildare Avenue, according to Chicago police.

The man barricaded himself alone inside a home, police said. The barricade allegedly began as a domestic incident.

The SWAT team was called to the scene, and the man was removed from the home without incident about 2:25 p.m., police said. He was taken to St. Mary’s Hospital for evaluation, and will not face any charges.

No injuries were reported, police said.
