A SWAT situation came to an end in central Austin with an unexpected result.

Police said once they entered a room at the Doubletree Hotel in central Austin shortly after 5:30 a.m. Monday, they found no one inside.

Police initially thought a man, who is a Bexar county law enforcement official, allegedly assaulted a woman who was staying inside the room with him.

Authorities believe that before police got to the room to investigate the report, the man fled. The swat situation lasted about four hours, before police could enter the room.

Some nearby hotel rooms had to be evacuated. The identity of the man has not been released.
