Pittsburgh police have arrested a suspect following a home invasion early Wednesday in the city’s South Side Slopes neighborhood.

Zone 3 officers responded just after 3:30 a.m. to the 2300 block of Cobden Street for a report of someone kicking in a front door and running away with a suspect firearm. The weapon was recovered during a brief pursuit, according to Pittsburgh police spokeswoman Amanda Mueller.

Police fired a Taser to subdue the suspect, who was arrested but not identified.
