Jan Wilen was thought to be injured and possibly armed following a Friday night incident near the 1300 block of Michigan Ave.
Shortly after 11 pm police responded to a call and arrested one man but the other got away.
Police issued an alert for Wilen, and said he may have a firearm.
That sparked the manhunt that ended Saturday morning when he was taken into custody without incident.
By then the area around Blackwell from Michigan to Modeland had been cleared and reopened.
