The police presence – while noticable – isn’t attracting attention from area residents. But six police cars and an ambulance dotting a block in the quiet neighbourhood of Lakeview is an unusual sight.

Inside a duplex is a man police say won’t come out. Police tell CKOM News he’s the ex-husband of a woman living at the residence. Police allege he assaulted her before they were called to the scene.   The woman and her three children escaped from the duplex, and the man now remains inside.

As the standoff continues, residents stroll by and children play in the street – seemingly unaware of what is happening.
