The woman called police and when the man refused to exit the home or let the child go and that's when SWAT was called in.

"After several hours. the suspect finally came out and gave himself up," said Victor Senties with the Houston Police Department. "Nobody was injured."

Police say the man could face possible aggravated assault charges.
