Police: Suspect stabbed man in chest after asking for drugs in downtown Pittsburgh<\/p>\n

\"RaquelPITTSBURGH \u2014<\/p>\n

A man has been arrested after a fight led to a stabbing in downtown Pittsburgh Monday morning. <\/p>\n

Pittsburgh Police were called to Sixth Avenue and Coffey Way around 12:45 a.m. on reports of a stabbing. <\/p>\n

Authorities say the victim had multiple wounds on his side and was taken to the hospital for treatment. <\/p>\n

A short time after arriving on scene, police say they were given a description of the suspect and found Robert Kemp on Smithfield Street at 5th Avenue. <\/p>\n

Authorities say they found a folding knife on him during his arrest. <\/p>\n

A witness told police she and the victim were approached by Kemp who asked them for crack. When the pair told him they did not have drugs, Kemp allegedly became aggressive.<\/p>\n

The complaint states the victim stood to tell Kemp to leave the area, but Kemp stabbed him in the chest with a knife. <\/p>\n

Kemp faces a charge of aggravated assault. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police: Suspect stabbed man in chest after asking for drugs in downtown Pittsburgh PITTSBURGH \u2014 A man has…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":295583,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[73781,4862,122255,122252,122249,34901,4623,122253,10950,69134,122251,11947,28,73,75,74,745,122250,50394,17065,2794,122254],"class_list":["post-295582","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pittsburgh","tag-5th-avenue","tag-aggravated-assault","tag-aggressive-suspect","tag-chest-stabbing","tag-coffey-way","tag-crack","tag-downtown-pittsburgh","tag-drug-request","tag-fight","tag-hospital-treatment","tag-knife-arrest","tag-monday-morning","tag-pennsylvania","tag-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh-headlines","tag-pittsburgh-news","tag-pittsburgh-police","tag-robert-kempt","tag-sixth-avenue","tag-smithfield-street","tag-stabbing","tag-victim-wounds"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295582","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=295582"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295582\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/295583"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=295582"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=295582"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=295582"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
