There were some tense moments in a northwest London neighbourhood early Tuesday morning.

Police were called around 3:30 a.m. after a report that a man was barricaded in a home, possibly with a gun.

A section of Aldersbrook Road near Gainsborough Road was closed off and the Emergency Response Unit was brought in.

The man finally came out of the house around 8 a.m. and was taken into custody without incident.
