An emotionally-disturbed Bronx dad tried to kill his son and daughter by slicing their throats before barricading himself inside his home for more than an hour, cops said Wednesday.

The pandemonium started at about 10:50 p.m. Tuesday, when Carlos Camilo, 43, got into an argument with his wife. She rushed out of the house and called 911.

Police said Camilo then slashed his 18-year-old daughter’s throat, and attacked his 12-year-old son, police said. Both survived. He also cut himself, police sources said..

Camilo barricaded himself inside the home until just after midnight, telling his wife over the phone that police shouldn’t approach him, sources said.

The police gained entrance into the home and Camilo was arrested without incident.

He has been charged with attempted murder, assault, menacing, harassment and child endangerment.

The man who allegedly tried to kill his own son and stepdaughter in a May domestic dispute in Kingsbridge was indicted on a litany of charges — including attempted murder, Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark announced June 25.

Carlos Camilo, 43, is accused of trying to kill his 12-year-old son and teen stepdaughter in his Irwin Avenue home in late May by slashing their necks with a knife. But even after he was in custody, Clark revealed Camilo tried to escape at one point, allegedly assaulting two corrections officers at St. Barnabas Hospital in Belmont. One officer suffered a large gash on his head after Camilo allegedly hit him over the head with a pipe.

The DA’s office says Camilo attacked the children May 28 after their mother revealed she wanted to end their relationship. He slit the throat of his son as the 12-year-old lay in bed, Clark said. Camilo then allegedly entered the bathroom where his 18-year-old stepdaughter was showering, pinned her against the wall and slashed her throat.

The mother and her children were able to escape to the nearby 50th Precinct station house thanks to a passerby who saw them run out of their Kingsbridge home, police said at the time.

The children were rushed to Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in Inwood and treated for their injuries.

Camilo barricaded himself in his home and slashed himself, but police arrested him after a brief standoff.

Camilo was indicted on charges of second-degree attempted murder, attempted escape, assault, attempted assault, menacing, child endangerment, criminal possession of a weapon, resisting arrest and obstructing governmental administration.

Camilo is currently in Bellevue Hospital’s prison ward
