SCOTTSDALE, AZ (3TV/CBS 5) -- Two people were detained after an apparent assault ended in a standoff at an extended stay motel near Old Town Scottsdale late Sunday night.

Scottsdale police were called out on a reported aggravated assault where a man was stabbed at an Extended Stay America near Marshall Way and Goldwater Boulevard just west of Scottsdale Road around 9:30 p.m.

Officers spent several hours at the scene trying to detain two people connected to the incident. After several attempts and with the help of SWAT crews, one person was taken into custody around 10 p.m. Police say the second suspect was considered armed and dangerous and refused to exit one of the hotel rooms. That suspect surrendered just after 11:30 p.m. It’s unclear what specific charges either suspect might face.

Scottsdale police say the victim and suspects were reportedly in a fight and the victim suffered broken bones and cuts. The victim was taken to a hospital for treatment and is expected to be okay. Detectives are continuing to investigate this incident.
