A man was taken into custody Tuesday after a standoff in Maplewood.

According to Maplewood Police, officers were called to the 1900 block of Clark Street at 9:54 a.m. on a report of a man inside a home armed with a gun and threatening to harm a woman and her child.

Police said the woman and child were able to escape from the home and the man barricaded himself inside the home.
