SEATTLE - Seattle police have arrested two men after investigating reports of an armed robbery that occurred in downtown Seattle Friday night. Another man they believed to be involved in the incident remains on the run as of Saturday. 

What we know:

Officers were dispatched to a report of multiple suspects involved in an armed robbery at an apartment building near Stewart Street and 2nd Avenue around 6:30 p.m.

Three men forced their way into a tenant's unit, pistol whipped them and demanded electronics, according to witness statements released by the Seattle Police Department on Saturday morning. 

Timeline:

Seattle officers were able to track down two of the initial suspects using the building's surveillance cameras, as they were also tenants of the building and were seen moving between their units and the apartment complex's common areas.

Police arrested a 24-year-old man in the lobby without incident, and a 26-year-old barricaded himself inside his apartment, according to SPD. The hourslong standoff ended after police got a search warrant from a judge and the suspect decided to exit his unit. 

SWAT arrested the 26-year-old at around 11 p.m. The third suspect was not located and the investigation remains ongoing with Seattle Police. 

Both men were booked into the King County Jail for robbery after officers found a firearm with extended magazine in one of the suspect's apartments.
