FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A large police presence was observed on Sunday morning in a Broward County residential neighborhood.
SWAT officers surrounded a home in Fort Lauderdale off Northeast 16th Avenue and Third Court in the city’s Victoria Park neighborhood on Sunday morning.
Some residents along the street were woken up to a chaotic scene and a woman frantically searching for help.
“Banging on my neighbor’s door, my door, blood all over the door,” said one resident, who asked not to be identified. “We called 911.”
According to authorities, officers received a report of a woman requesting help from police around 5:30 a.m.
When they arrived, responding officers determined a violent domestic incident had occurred inside an Airbnb in which the victim was battered by her boyfriend, who they identified as Andrew Green, authorities said.
Police said Green, 42, then refused to come out of the house.
Authorities said inside the home along with Green was one of his children. A second child had already left the house, police said.
Officers added that the children were Green’s, but not the victim’s.
Once the remaining child left the house unharmed, police said Green still refused to come out, so they sent an “aerosol irritant” into the house, forcing him to exit.
He was then taken into custody, police said.
Green is facing charges of domestic battery, domestic battery by strangulation and false imprisonment.
Following Green’s arrest, Airbnb released a statement to Local 10 News about the SWAT situation.
“The kind of behavior being reported has no place on Airbnb, and we’ve suspended the accused’s account while we look into the incident,” the company said. “We stand ready to support Fort Lauderdale Police in their investigation.”
