Vancouver police say a man has surrendered, marking a peaceful end to an eight hour standoff in the city’s West End.
The incident began around 6 a.m. Saturday, when officers responded to calls of a man in distress in an apartment building near Comox and Chilco Streets.
Over the course of the standoff, the man threw a large number of items and furniture from the window of his unit, causing minor damage to several parked vehicles, according to police.
“We woke up later, we just saw a lot of cops around,” a neighbour told Global News.
