After threatening family members with a knife and barricading himself inside a Southwest Las Vegas Valley home, a man was taken into custody unharmed Friday night, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.

The man is alleged to have committed a minor battery with his hands, but no injuries were reported, police said.

No one else was inside the home, officials said.
