A man in his 30s has been taken to hospital after a ten-hour standoff in Gatineau.

Police received a call about a fight in an apartment block on Flandres around 9 p.m. Monday night.

Officers allege the man they were seeking was uncooperative, became violent, then locked himself in an apartment.

Other residents in the building were evacuated.

After a night of negotiations, the man surrendered around 7 a.m. Tuesday morning.
