Police were called to Wainfleet motel after receiving 911 call

A man has been taken to hospital after a standoff with police in Wainfleet.

NRP was called just after the noon hour yesterday to a motel on Highway 3, near Forks Road.

They were able to talk to the man, who had barricaded himself in a room, and refused to leave.

Police say they evacuated the entire motel out of safety, and continued negotiations with the man.

Around 2:30 he came out, was treated for minor injuries, and taken to hospital for further evaluation.

Police add there is no concern for public safety.
