Haverhill Police say there were no injuries Sunday and Monday as officers safely dealt with a lone individual who was barricaded in a Cottage Place home, while reportedly making threats.

Police confirm late Monday officers evacuate some residents from their home Sunday, Sept. 6, around 1:30 p.m. as a “precaution.”

“Officers remained on scene throughout the evening and into the early morning hours of Monday, Sept. 7, while efforts were made to bring the incident to a safe resolution,” police said in a statement, adding, “The incident ended peacefully and safely, with no reported injuries to members of the public or responding personnel.”

Upon arrival, the statement said, “officers established a perimeter and began working to safely resolve the situation. The individual was the only person inside the apartment.”

Police thanked Massachusetts State Police Special Tactical Operations, known as STOP, Team for its assistance and residents “for their cooperation, patience and understanding while officers worked to resolve the situation.”

Police said no information about the individual will be immediately released.
