Police evacuated people from their homes on an Essex block Sunday after an explosion was reported inside a house and a man inside refused to come out.
The man ultimately surrendered and has not yet been charged.
Police were called shortly before 4 p.m. for an explosion in a house in the first block of Cardinal Road, Baltimore County police spokesman Shawn Vinson said. When they arrived, a man inside refused to come out.
Homes in the block were evacuated for about an hour until police determined it was safe. Vinson said around 8:30 p.m. that police had not yet been inside the home and could not determine what happened.
