PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. – A SWAT team was called to a Pembroke Pines apartment complex Friday afternoon after a man barricaded himself inside a unit, threatening "suicide by cop," police said.
Residents at the complex at 8103 S. Palm Drive told Local 10 News that they were told to evacuate their homes.

Police said the man was apprehended shortly after 4 p.m. and taken to a nearby hospital where he will be held under the Baker Act. A Pembroke Pines police representative said the man suffered life-threatening-injuries, but did not say how he was injured.
The man will not face charges.
