(WPXI) – A large party had to be broken up by police in Oakland in the same area where a porch roof collapsed just a day earlier. Pittsburgh Police were called to the 300 block of Semple Street to help Pitt Police with a large crowd of people. That was the same location where a porch roof collapsed and injured 16 people on Friday. A permit had been issued for an event there but police said they revoked it because the crowd size was significantly higher than what was allowed. One person was taken to a hospital with a minor face injury after falling on the sidewalk. No arrests were made and no citations were issued. The crowd was broken up without incident.
