FORT GREENE – A reader wrote in yesterday about a large police presence on Dekalb Avenue late Monday afternoon. She saw several officers, special emergency trucks, detective cars, and a helicopter surrounding the building next to Dosa Royals.

Police arrived at Dekalb Avenue, between Vanderbilt and Clinton Avenues, at approximately 4:35pm on September 25 where a suspect was barricaded, a NYPD representative says. Police were able to take the suspect in without further incident shortly after 5pm, the officer adds.

The representative would not provide any further details about the incident or the suspect. She said more information will be available after the suspect is charged.
