Gunman suspect arrested near Hudson home

A suspected gunman was arrested outside Kate Hudson's home in New York yesterday.

Hudson and four-year-old son Ryder were reportedly inside the house when a police SWAT team disarmed a man on their street.

Police cleared the street, forced the man to lie on the ground and then handcuffed him, reports The Mirror.

"It was absolute mayhem," said a source. "You get calls of a gun being seen and the police throw everything at it. So there were helicopters and SWAT squads, the lot.

"I was moved back but I could see a guy on the ground in handcuffs."
