UPDATE: Man in Custody, Streets Reopening

Update, 2:45 p.m.—Woburn Police have one man in custody, after a day-long negotiation with a man threatening to jump off the roof of 576 Main St.

The man is being brought to Woburn Police for booking.

He was on the roof of the apartment building from about 8 o'clock this morning until 2:40 p.m. Wednesday. The negotiation shut down Main Street completely from Charles Street to Chestnut Street, and at times, further out.

At one point during the standoff, only the sound of the fan keeping the "pillow" inflated in the parking lot could be heard.

Update, 2 p.m.—Woburn Police and Fire remain at the scene, negotiating with the man on the roof.

The man, who was earlier seen from the front of the building, is now at the back. His parents and a doctor are on scene, according to police reports.

According to witnesses, the man went onto the roof after Woburn Police attempted to serve a warrant around 8 a.m. this morning.

He has been on the roof since, seen smoking cigarettes and talking on his cell phone, while also speaking with negotiators. A pant leg is ripped, and he has a long-sleeved shirt on. 

The Woburn Police night shift was called in at 1 p.m., while the day shift is being held over at the scene. Other cities have also responded, including Wilmington Police and Boston Fire.
