UPDATE: Six Arrested in Brookline Assault Case

Pittsburgh police made six arrests in the past week for a violent beating on Brookline Boulevard.

 

Pittsburgh police have identified and arrested six local men for their involvement in a fight in Brookline that sent two people to the hospital.

Brookline residents Matthew Frost, 23, and Wyatt Hess, 19, as well as Julian Leiber, 18, of Beechview, were arrested on Nov. 14.

Each was charged with two counts of aggravated assault, two counts of recklessly endangering another person, criminal conspiracy and possessing instruments of crime.

Anthony Frost, 21, and Mark Iaquinta, 21, both of Brookline, as well as Marc Cataldo, 21, of Beechview, were arrested and charged earlier this month. Click here to see their charges.

According to Pittsburgh police, officers responded to the intersection of Brookline Boulevard and Wedgemere Street for a report of a large fight taking place. Two male victims were injured in the fight, and were taken to a local hospital for treatment.

The victims told police the group of men—some of whom they knew—had beaten them with batons and clubs.

Preliminary hearings for all six men are scheduled for Nov. 19. They currently are in Allegheny County Jail.

Hi mrMister,

Your comment was deleted because the name you mentioned in the last sentence is not mentioned in either the article or the Pittsburgh police reports. Since public documents aren't linking him to this case at this time, mentioning him in this way could be defamatory.

You are welcome to re-post your comment without that information. Thanks!

Furthermore, 'church' doesn't mean squat to most people. A meaning-less going through the motions Sunday activity, nothing more .
