The police arrested a man who barricaded himself inside in Essex. The officers were called to Lancaster Way in Braintree to find a man who had shut himself in a flat . The armed police entered the property and shortly after that the forty-three year old man was arrested on suspicion of affray. No one was hurt and there were no other people in the flat. The pupils from the local nearby school were instructed not to leave the premises during the arrest. For pre-cause had they closed down the street and they provided safe access routes for parents who were collecting their children.

I do not understand why this particular man would do these things to himself. He had definitly some problems but still no need to act like that. Any way, was this man a real threat for the community? I am happy to hear that nobody was harmed during the arrest but it could turn out the other way. I happy that the police acted so quick to the happening and that they took the special emergency measures to prevend violent behavior.
