A man was barricaded with an unknown number of hostages Tuesday at a California bank where police had received reports of a bomb threat.

“Several community members” were inside the Chase Bank in the city of Bakersfield, police spokesperson Sally Selby said in a statement, adding that crisis negotiators were working to bring the situation to a peaceful resolution.

At least one person who had been held was freed, police told reporters at the scene.

No injuries have been reported, Selby said, adding that members of the Bakersfield Police Department’s Crisis Negotiation Team were communicating with the barricaded man.
