A man holed up inside a vehicle Sunday in Long Beach eventually surrendered to police and was taken to a hospital for an unrelated health condition, authorities said.
Officers were dispatched at about 5:50 a.m. to the 2300 block of Long Beach Boulevard regarding a man who was arguing with a woman, the Long Beach Police Department reported.
