ELMIRA, N.Y. (WENY) -- An Elmira man has been arrested following the incident at Heritage Park. Authorities say they were initially called to the apartment complex for a welfare complaint check.
There was heavy police presence on Water Street and surrounding the Heritage Park apartments around 3:30 this afternoon. Officers could be seen walking into the grounds, often with guns drawn.
According to the Elmira Police Department, officers responded to an apartment off Harriet Street after a caller told them that two males were holding a female against her will in the apartment. The caller also told EPD one of the men had a handgun.
