Two Face Charges After Pittsburgh Protest

PITTSBURGH (AP) – Authorities in western Pennsylvania say two people were arrested after climbing onto a Pittsburgh bridge in an attempt to hang a protest banner. Police said the man and woman climbed the superstructure of the 6th Street/Roberto Clemente Bridge at about 8:30 a.m. Sunday. The bridge was then closed to traffic and fire department crews cut the line the protesters were using to try to hang the banner. The protesters were arrested after they descended three hours later. Public safety officials said criminal charges were planned but didn’t specify what they would be.
