Police on Monday afternoon were involved in a standoff with a driver in Oakland.

Shortly after 3 p.m., aerial coverage from NBC Bay Area's SkyRanger showed multiple police cars, including an armored vehicle, surrounding a van.

The incident was reported in the area of 30th Avenue and International Boulevard in the city's Fruitvale district.

The driver eventually exited the vehicle with both hands out before police took him into custody.

Police told NBC Bay Area late Monday officers were investigating reports of an armed person in the area who was unresponsive in a vehicle.

"When officers arrived, they located the unresponsive individual and attempted to make contact with them," police said in an email. "After a lengthy standoff, the individual was awakened by officers and safely taken into custody. A loaded firearm was recovered at the scene."
