Good morning, this is Pittsburgh Local Pulse for Tuesday, May 6, 2025. We're tracking several developing stories across the city today. A violent altercation broke out at PNC Park during Sunday's Pirates game between a game day employee and a fan. The employee has been suspended after the incident, which reportedly began when the fan was harassing a concession stand worker. The altercation escalated to physical violence and is now under investigation by both the Pirates organization and Pittsburgh Police. In some positive news from PNC Park, 20-year-old Kavan Markwood, who fell 21 feet from a railing onto the warning track during last Wednesday's Pirates game, has taken his first steps in his recovery. Markwood suffered serious injuries including a broken neck, clavicle, and back, but is showing promising signs of improvement at Allegheny General Hospital. A GoFundMe campaign has already raised nearly $41,000 toward his medical expenses. On the crime front, Cleveland Browns linebacker Devin Bush is facing harassment and misdemeanor assault charges after an incident at his home in Sewickley. Police responded Sunday to a 911 call where a woman, identified as Bush's girlfriend, alleged he assaulted her and broke her phone to prevent her from calling for help. Bush has a preliminary hearing scheduled for May 20. In Mexican War Streets, police arrested a woman after a man was stabbed over the weekend. Details remain limited as the investigation continues.
