City officials say that the man was a patient at the hospital earlier on Friday and made threats to staff, leading to his arrest.

A suspect has been taken into custody on suspicion of making a threatening call to Huntington Hospital, prompting a temporary lockdown of the Pasadena facility.

A suspect was taken into custody on Friday, March 14 after Huntington Hospital went on at least a partial lockdown following what was deemed to be a credible threat, officials said. The man was apprehended by 6:40 p.m., Pasadena city spokesperson Lisa Derderian said. The lockdown was expected to be lifted shortly after that.
