Three men are under arrest after a hostage situation in the Bronx Saturday.
Police say Jimmy Rosario, 24, Joseph Bonilla, 27, and Enrique Felix, 25, are all charged with robbery, weapons possession, and unlawful imprisonment.
Police say around 4:30 p.m., officers answered a call of a robbery in an apartment on 184th Street in Belmont.
Officers went to the apartment, where they found the three men holding four people hostage, including a two-year-old boy.
The officers were able to safely rescue three of the hostages, including the child, and arrested Rosario before finding one of the other men holding an elderly woman at gunpoint.
A hostage negotiation team was called in, and after about two hours, the woman was released, and Bonilla and Felix were arrested.
Police recovered two guns at the scene.
