Daily Mail has more on this breaking incident:
An allegedly armed man pulled a woman into his hotel room at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, before barricading themselves inside and throwing furniture out of a window into the pool area below.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police said they received a report of a domestic violence disturbance at the hotel and casino at around 9.15am Tuesday.
The male suspect pulled the female victim into the room by force before police arrived, and when they tried to make contact with the occupants of the room, a man refused to open the door and said he was armed.
He has since been seen hurling large items out of a window, including a chair, as a SWAT team and crisis negotiators try to speak to him.
This video has gone viral of the man throwing random furniture out the hotel window:
