HOLBROOK, MA — Officers have arrested a man who allegedly resisted arrest by barricading himself inside a Union Street residence on Monday, Holbrook police said.

Police responded to the home at around 11 a.m. to serve an arrest warrant against Noah R. Hennessey, 31, of Holbrook. But when officers attempted to take Hennessey into custody, he barricaded himself inside the 21 Union Street residence, police said.

As officers attempted to negotiate with Hennessey, nearby homes were evacuated and a perimeter was established. A woman escaped the home unharmed out of a back window, police said.
