Acrisure Stadium employee arrested for threatening co-workers with kitchen knife
An Acrisure Stadium employee was arrested Saturday before the Pittsburgh Steelers game — after threatening fellow employees with a kitchen knife.
Just before 4 p.m., Pittsburgh police responded to reports of a “disorderly employee” working in an Acrisure kitchen area.
The employee was a male, who has not been identified, and he initially resisted arrest, police said. However, officers eventually took him into custody and transported him to the Allegheny County Jail.
Police said no one was seriously injured or transported to the hospital as a result of the incident.
Acrisure Stadium spokesperson Cecelia Cagni said she was aware of the incident on Saturday.
“We are thankful the City of Pittsburgh Police handled the situation properly and that there were no injuries reported,” she said.
