A concert by Pittsburgh rapper Mac Miller at City Hall Plaza tonight featured fights and ended in more fights and disturbances that brought police units from across the city.
Fights broke out from City Hall Plaza to Winter and Tremont streets - where dozens of panicked people who thought they heard gunshots suddenly started running down Winter toward Washington Street. Detectives looked for bullets or other evidence of gunfire but found none.
Tremont Street was briefly closed to traffic as police tried to clear the crowds.
Account of what it was like on the Red Line, both before and after the concert.
