Taylor Swift: Suspicious Man Arrested Outside Home

Cops swarmed to Taylor Swift's L.A. home Wednesday afternoon when a suspicious looking man was seen wandering at the foot of her driveway.

LAPD officers took the man, decked out in fatigues, into custody around 4 PM. Law enforcement sources tell us police got a call from someone in the neighborhood ... reporting an individual lurking "around Taylor Swift's house."

TMZ obtained shots of the man getting cuffed and placed in a police car. He didn't put up a fight and showed no outward signs of violent behavior. It's unclear if Taylor was home at the time.

We're told, after questioning the suspect ... officers determined he needed evaluation at a hospital. He has not been booked for any crime at this point.
