The assault took place in the 1400 block of Michigan Avenue, where the man barricaded himself for hours after officers arrived, according to Santa Monica police.
Nearby apartments were evacuated as crisis negotiators and SWAT were on standby.
After several hours barricaded inside the apartment, the suspect came out and was placed under custody just after 12 a.m.
