Police are investigating the discovery of a suspicious device in Center City.
Investigators say the device was found in front of a post office on 9th and Market Street. The device was a package being carried by a homeless man, according to police. While the package appeared to be a fire extinguisher, police have not confirmed what the object actually is. Police say the object was not an explosive device however.
No word yet on whether the man was taken into custody. Market Street was closed between 9th and 10th Street but has since been reopened.
