At approximately 4 a.m. on Saturday, Plymouth Police received an emergency call from a man who reported that he had been slashed with a knife and then held at gunpoint inside an apartment building on Marc Drive, unit 2B. The victim managed to escape the scene and sought assistance at the West Plymouth Fire Department.

Police response and SWAT deployment

Officers initially attempted to communicate with the two suspects, described only as a male and a female, but the individuals did not cooperate. Because the situation involved an armed threat inside a residential building, the Metro‑LEC SWAT team was summoned to the scene. While SWAT units were on site, nearby residents were instructed to evacuate for their safety.

Arrests and ongoing investigation

After the tactical team secured the apartment, police took the male and female suspects into custody. Plymouth Police indicated that additional arrests could follow as the investigation continues. The department released a statement apologizing for any inconvenience caused to residents, motorists, and nearby businesses, and thanked the community for its cooperation, which helped bring the incident to a peaceful resolution.

Community impact

The early‑morning disturbance highlighted the importance of rapid emergency response in Plymouth’s neighborhoods. Local officials reiterated their commitment to public safety and encouraged residents to report any suspicious activity promptly.

What’s next?

The case remains under investigation, and authorities have not released further details about the suspects’ motives or any potential charges. Residents are advised to stay informed through official Plymouth Police updates and to follow any safety advisories that may be issued.
