An intense police response unfolded Tuesday evening in Spring Valley after a barricaded individual refused to surrender inside an apartment at 94 North Main Street.

Sources tell Monsey Scoop that Spring Valley Police received a call around 5:45PM for a person throwing rocks at a window. Responding officers quickly arrived on scene and discovered the individual had shattered and climbed through the window and barricaded himself inside the apartment, refusing to come out.

As the situation escalated, additional resources were requested, including the Rockland County Sheriff’s Office with K-9 units, FBI Task Force, along with the Rockland County REACT Team to assist with negotiations. A heavy police presence remained at the scene for several hours as negotiators worked to bring the incident to a safe resolution.

After nearly three hours, the individual ultimately surrendered and was taken into custody without further incident. He was transported to a local hospital for evaluation.

During the standoff, a separate individual was also taken into custody after crossing police tape and refusing to comply with officers’ orders at the scene.

Spring Hill EMS and Rockland Paramedics were also on scene providing medical support.
