CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido said on Monday that security forces had "threatened" him with arrest at his apartment building, and an opposition spokesman said a close Guaido ally had been arrested.

Guaido's wife, Fabiana Rosales, earlier said that security forces had entered their apartment building in an attempt to detain Guaido. Guaido later told reporters gathered outside their Caracas building that the forces had departed.
