Phoenix police are investigating a possible kidnapping that occurred early Tuesday morning at a hotel off Interstate 17 in Phoenix.

At around 12:30 a.m., officers responded to a call of a possible kidnapping at Knights Inn hotel near Black Canyon Highway and McDowell Road. When they arrived, officers contacted a woman who told them she was taken by a man who was inside a hotel room.

Police commands were given to the occupant of the room, but he did not come out. After a warrant was signed, the Special Assignments Unit helped assist in clearing the room.

The man inside the room was taken into custody. Police did not say if he faces charges or what those charges are.

Further details about the incident are still under investigation.
