Miami-Dade Police responded at around 2 p.m. to the area of NW 122nd Street and 22nd Court after a third party reported a potential threat. Negotiators were outside of the home for hours, pleading for the subject to come out with his hands up.
At around 9:30 p.m., a child walked out of the home with his hands up. Officers quickly rescued him. The child didn't appear to be physically harmed.
Shortly after, the suspect walked out of the home with his hands up, and he was taken into custody.
