A man jumped out of his car during a traffic stop in San Jose and fled with what looked like a gun, according to the California Highway Patrol.

When police arrived at the home, the man fled into a nearby auto shop.

Authorities surrounded the building with more than 20 officers.

After about a two hour stand off, police took the suspect into custody without incident.
