Police arrested a man they said had barricaded himself in a West Village apartment after a domestic violence incident, prompting a SWAT response.
The man, identified as Luis Angel Del Valle, 26, of Long Beach, had been involved in a domestic violence incident with a woman around 10:34 p.m. Tuesday in the 400 block of Magnolia Avenue, police said.
