The Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) have a 29-year-old man in custody after an alleged disturbance at a house in the Parkridge neighbourhood.
Just after 5:30 a.m. CT on Saturday, police received a 911 call from someone at a home in the 700-block of McCormack Road. The 911 operator heard what sounded like a fight, but was unable to get anyone to talk.

Police removed a 27-year-old woman and four children from the house. The woman was taken to hospital by paramedics with non-life threatening injuries.
Officials said the man made more threats, alluding to the use of a firearm, and refused to come out of the house.
SPS crisis negotiators, along with members of the tactical support unit, were called in to help with the situation.
