An Elmont man is facing kidnapping and assault charges after barricading himself and a victim inside his home during a police standoff.
Officers responded to Locustwood Boulevard around 1 a.m. on Friday.
They say 30-year-old Lyadell Sutherland refused to let a 22-year-old woman leave his home. He also allegedly hit repeatedly and took away her cellphone.
Police eventually gained access to the house and arrested Sutherland. The victim was treated at a nearby hospital.
