ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) - Police have one woman in custody and expect to make more arrests after a brawl that left two people hospitalized with stab wounds.
The Rochester Police Department says a crowd of mainly women and teenage girls got embroiled in fights along Weyl Street on Sunday afternoon. Bystander video given to WHEC-TV shows over a dozen people gathered and sometimes scrapping with each other as police intervene.
Police say officers used pepper spray after people ignored orders to break it up.
A 19-year-old woman has been arrested on assault and rioting charges and is awaiting arraignment. Police are trying to identify a second woman they believe may have been involved in the fight, and the department says it expects more arrests.
The two people who were hospitalized are expected to survive.
