More officers then arrived and found the man hiding under a car. In a post on social media, the department asked people to avoid the area of Townsend and Brannan streets as the Crisis/Hostage Negotiations Team attempted to make contact.
At 10:30 a.m., a spokesperson for the department posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, that the situation had been resolved without further incident. A statement from the police credited the negotiation team, along with the Tactical Team and Specialist Team, for getting the man to surrender.
