A man who had barricaded himself all day Sunday in a South Philadelphia rowhouse along with his two children surrendered to police around 5:30 p.m.
Police came to the house in the 1800 block of Dickinson Street shortly after 10:15 a.m., after residents of the block saw that the man had allegedly killed a cat from the neighborhood, set it on fire and hung it on a fence on the side of his house, neighbors said.
Police have not released the man's identity.
