A Normal Heights resident who allegedly attacked a tenant of his with a baseball bat during an argument early Thursday refused to leave his home when police arrived, prompting an hours-long standoff that finally ended after the suspect was arrested.
The alleged assault — which was reported in the 4800 block of 35th Street, a block and a half off Adams Avenue in Normal Heights — took place at around 6:30 Thursday morning.
As officers tried to get the suspect to exit his house and give himself up peaceably, paramedics took the victim — who rents a cottage behind the suspect’s home — to a hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

Law enforcement then dispatched special weapons and tactics personnel to the house, surrounding and taping off the block.
The stalemate continued for several hours, until officers blew up a concussion grenade on the property at around 11 a.m., prompting the suspect to exit his home and surrender. He was taken into custody without further incident.
