A man is in police custody after he allegedly went berserk at an apartment building in the Bluemont neighborhood, near Ballston.
The incident happened shortly before 3 p.m. and drew a crowd outside the building.
Initial details are sketchy, but Arlington County Police say they were dispatched to the 800 block of N. Wakefield Street for a report of a man damaging property. Upon officers arriving, the man threw a dumbbell out of an apartment window, according to police.
Broken windows could be seen on the third floor of the building. Firefighters also responded and were asked to evaluate a possible gas leak from an appliance in the apartment, according to scanner traffic.
Officers were ultimately able to arrest the suspect.
“The subject was taken into custody and will be transported to an area hospital for evaluation,” said ACPD spokeswoman Ashley Savage. “”No officers were injured.”
“We remain on scene investigating,” Savage added. “There’s no ongoing threat to the community.”
