Westwood (myFOXla.com) - A man suspected of making threats against the White House is still in a standoff with authorities outside the Federal Building in Westwood.

The suspect led police on a chase from Westchester to West Los Angeles and then holed up inside a car near the Westwood federal building, prompting the hours-long standoff.

Neighbors and the suspect's mother identified the man as 56-year-old [color="Red"]Joe Moshe of Westchester, according to The Daily Breeze.

At least four police cruisers blocked the red Volkswagen Beetle in the driveway of a parking lot on Veteran Avenue south of Wilshire Boulevard. Officers stood nearby with their guns pointed at the vehicle, and a police robot wheeled its way around the vehicle as the standoff continued.

A military-style armored vehicle was also brought to the scene and was eventually parked against the front of the vehicle, ensuring that the man inside could not drive away.

A red pickup truck and a black sedan that were in the driveway when the suspect drove alongside were also blocked in by police cruisers. The occupants of those vehicles were safely evacuated.

Veteran Avenue was closed in both directions south of Wilshire Boulevard. An apartment building on the east side of Veteran was evacuated as a precaution.

Federal authorities said the man was wanted for questioning for allegedly making some type of threat against the White House.

U.S. Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan says the suspect made a threat but would not give details.

The Daily Breeze reported that Secret Service agents went to Moshe's door Wednesday night, but he did not answer. Agents then interviewed neighbors instead.

When officers tried to stop the man at about 10 a.m., the suspect drove off, heading north on the San Diego (405) Freeway, followed by multiple police cruisers and a helicopter crew.

He drove into the federal building parking lot off Veteran, circled and tried to exit back onto Veteran, but he was blocked in by a police SUV, beginning the standoff around 10:30 a.m.
