Meat Cleaver Attack in Whitehall | Pittsburgh News

A shocking backyard attack in Whitehall left one man with a four-inch gash on his neck after a 36-year-old suspect allegedly swung a meat cleaver at him. The incident, which occurred just before 8:30 p.m. on August 2nd, unfolded after the suspect — Rup Koirala — stormed uninvited into the victim’s yard, ignored warnings, and returned wielding the weapon. Koirala reportedly dropped the cleaver and fled after the assault. He was later arrested and claims he acted out of frustration over being “bullied.” Now facing attempted homicide and aggravated assault charges, this case serves as a chilling reminder of how quickly violence can erupt — and the legal consequences that follow.
