TRENTON, N.J. –  Police say an armed man with multiple hostages has barricaded himself inside a Trenton home.

Trenton Police Lt. Stephen Varn said a man has been holed up in a house in South Trenton for a number of hours with "multiple hostages."

Varn declined to say how many people were being held. He said shortly before 11 p.m. Friday that negotiations are under way between police and the man.

Earlier, authorities said police were called to the home mid-afternoon Friday on reports of a barricaded suspect.

Authorities say police entered the home and found the man brandishing a gun. The police retreated from the home and a perimeter was established around the home. A SWAT team was called in.

Homes on the surrounding block have been evacuated as a precaution.
