SWAT Arrests Knife-Wielding Man at Allen Park Gas Station

A knife-wielding man barricaded himself inside a Marathon gas station in Allen Park, Michigan, at the intersection of Allen and Southfield roads, on Friday. The incident began around 4:30 p.m. after the man, reportedly in distress and possibly suffering from mental illness, fled from police and entered the gas station. He allowed all employees and customers to leave before barricading himself inside alone. Police closed nearby roads, negotiated with the suspect, and ultimately used flashbang devices and broke the glass to arrest him after a five-hour standoff. No hostages were taken, and there were no immediate reports of injuries. Multiple local law enforcement agencies responded and secured the area during the incident.
