Calgary police warned drivers to take alternate routes as they dealt with an ongoing incident in the city’s southwest on Wednesday.

Police said a call came in at around noon about a “person in crisis” near 14 Street S.W. and 28 Avenue S.W.

The road was closed as officers worked into the afternoon to complete negotiations, police said.

At around 6:15 p.m., officers said the situation wrapped up and they were able to get the man in question out of the house.

Roads in the area reopened around 6:45 p.m., according to the City of Calgary’s transportation department.
