Sheffield Standoff Ends with Arrest After 36-Hour Police Operation
Armed police were called to The Gateway flats on Broad Street, Sheffield, on Monday evening, 10th February 2025, following concerns for a man allegedly in possession of weapons and posing a risk to himself. The incident led to the evacuation of residents and the closure of surrounding roads, including the Parkway between Park Square roundabout and Derek Dooley Way.
Footage emerged showing armed officers ascending the stairs of the building as negotiations continued. Residents were relocated to Ponds Forge International Sports Centre, where they were provided with temporary accommodation. South Yorkshire Police confirmed that specialist officers were working to resolve the situation safely, acknowledging the disruption caused to the community and public transport services.
After a 36-hour stand-off, a 47-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of offences including criminal damage, possession of a firearm, threats to kill, and communicating a bomb hoax. Roads and public transport services have since reopened, but the building remains closed, and residents are yet to return to their properties. Police thanked the public for their patience and support during the operation.
