A Dartmouth, Massachusetts man is under arrest following a reported fight that led to a police standoff at a home in the town early Sunday morning.

Police responded to the home on Fenton Street shortly after 5a.m. after receiving reports of several males fighting.

According to police, one of the men barricaded himself inside the home with a gun he allegedly had during the fight, prompting a response by the SEMLEC and SWAT teams.
