Police Presence Expected After Huge Brawls in Swissvale
Several fights broke out as students got off the Woodland Hills High School bus near the intersection of Woodstock and South Braddock Avenue.
Woodland Hills High School students and their parents ended up in large brawls in Swissvale Monday and Tuesday afternoons as students got off the bus.
WTAE-TV reports that several arrests are expected because videos of the fights were posted on YouTube, enabling Swissvale police to identify several of those involved. Swissvale police Chief Greg Geppert told WTAE that the fights apparently were staged as the same parents and students were present both days—and someone recorded both brawls.
Police plan to have presence on Wednesday in the area where the fights broke out.
