CENTRAL HARLEM — After a four-hour standoff, a Harlem mother was arrested for allegedly stabbing the walls in the hallway on her apartment building, the Daily News reports.

Princess Lundy, 22, allegedly hacked her building's walls at West 153rd Street with a kitchen knife, prompting a neighbor to call police.

When the police arrived around 1 p.m., Lundy ran into her apartment with her 18-month-old son, Prince. She was eventually arrested and removed from the building at 5 p.m., following the four-hour standoff with police.

Lundy's son was carried out of the building on a stretcher. The toddler appeared shaken, but no injuries were reported. Both were taken to a local hospital for medical treatment.
