PITTSBURGH — Police say SWAT operators responded to a Pittsburgh home early Saturday morning after learning a man with outstanding warrants was inside.

Pittsburgh police dispatched to a home on the 3200 block of Edwards Way around 5:15 a.m. after a third party called and informed them a man with outstanding warrants showed up at a family member’s home.

When police arrived, they found a woman outside, unharmed. The man, who was wanted for aggravated assault and burglary, was inside. SWAT operators responded to try and make contact with him — but were unable to.

Police say the man eventually jumped from a second-story window and ran. He was later apprehended on the 3100 block of Mary Street after a brief foot pursuit.
