By 1:30, police began to move on Broad and Sansom-Walnut, the most troublesome site.
The officers came from three directions, from South Philly, where dozens of officers had assembled at Broad and Washington and moved north; and from both sides of Broad Street.
Along the way, the officers went by Chestnut just west of Broad, where there were some reports of minor looting of some of the stores there.
Many of the officers on hand were being redeployed from the other hot spots, including Frankford and Cottman Avenues, which by 1 a.m. had largely quieted down.
Police had almost cleared Broad Street south of City Hall. About a dozen mounted police, accompanied by officers on bicycles and motorcycles, cleared the street and forcied people onto the sidewalk and down the side streets.
