PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A wanted fugitive is under arrest following a tense standoff in the Bustleton section of Philadelphia.



Around 4:50 p.m. Tuesday, U.S. Marshals were in pursuit of a Mercedes Benz driven by the 24-year-old fugitive.



Authorities say the fugitive abandoned the vehicle and fled into an apartment on the 9900 block of Haldeman Avenue.



It turned into a barricade situation.



An Action News viewer recorded the moment the SWAT team escorted the man out of the apartment complex just before 8 p.m.



The 24-year-old was wanted on aggravated assault charges in Upper Southampton, Bucks County.
