PACOIMA, LOS ANGELES, Feb. 25, 2026 (KNN) – A man armed with a knife faced off with police late Tuesday night during a prolonged standoff in a residential neighborhood, according to initial reports.

Just before 11 p.m. Tuesday, officers responded to the 11000 block of Remick Avenue after reports of a man with a weapon. Upon arrival, police located a man holding a knife in an alley and began negotiations, repeatedly urging him to drop the weapon over their PA system.

Key News Network video shows the man refused to comply and at one point advanced toward officers while still armed. Officers then fired what was believed to be a single 40mm less-lethal round, striking the suspect and knocking him to the ground. The man briefly dropped the knife but later stood up and rearmed himself, continuing the confrontation.

Negotiations continued as the suspect alternated between putting down and picking up the knife, according to reports.

The Los Angeles County Systemwide Mental Assessment Response Team responded to assist with negotiations, while a Los Angeles Police Department helicopter maintained an overhead presence during the incident.

No officers were reported injured. The suspect’s condition and the cause of the incident were not immediately known.
