00:48A large fight broke out at a festival in Washington County over the weekend. Video of the incident
00:54involving over a dozen people at EQT Park during the Tacos and Tequila Festival is circulating on
01:00social media. Witness Lauren Larimer talked with KDKA-TV. I see the girls fighting so I busted my phone
01:08out right in time to see that guy punch the other guy and he went like 15 feet and it
01:14was just you
01:15didn't know who was fighting you didn't know why. Washington Mayor Jojo Burgess was there he hopes
01:20someone who recognizes the people fighting in the video will turn them into police. Pittsburgh leaders
01:26are set to unveil a new city transit benefit today for hundreds of city employees. Newsradio KDKA's
01:32Tamara Rush has a preview from the newsroom. Paul the city is becoming the first major participant in
01:37Pittsburgh Regional Transit's bulk transit fare program known as the Partner Pass. The initiative
01:42will give 750 downtown city employees access to free transit service. Supporters say it's designed to
01:49make commuting more affordable, reduce traffic congestion and ease parking demand downtown.
01:55Advocates say the program is the result of years of work to expand affordable transportation options
02:00for workers and could help boost transit ridership across the region. A news conference announcing the
02:06program is scheduled for 10 this morning at the city county building. In the newsroom,

02:12Paving to repair the pothole riddled roads at Pittsburgh Mills Mall is scheduled to start
02:17today. The deteriorating conditions led the district attorney's office to file criminal charges
02:22against Namdar Realty Group with the hold on a trial right now during the repaving. This project
02:29will include parts of Pittsburgh Mills Boulevard, Pittsburgh Mills Circle, Value Drive, Retail Drive and
02:35Mills Drive but not the parking lots, sidewalks or the mall's inner driveway. KDKA Sports,
02:41the Bucs lost to the Reds 10-2 on Sunday. Up next, it's the Brewers tonight at Milwaukee and one
02:46of
02:46the Steelers will be getting more reps while a teammate is out with an injury. With that story,
02:50here's News Radio KDKA's Jeff Hathorn. He's frankly been one of my favorite players, you know,
02:55since I arrived there. While you're taking a second to think about what Steeler he's talking about,
02:59the pads do come on for the first time at St. Vincent College. Okay, give up. It's Asante Samuel Jr.
03:07who is getting reps because Joey Porter Jr. is out. I just love the way he works. He's extremely
03:13physical. His ball skills are off the charts. You know, that's a big thing. You know, that's
03:18something I really look for in defensive backs. We want to take the ball away, catch the flash of
03:22the ball and he has all that. With the Steelers in La Trobe, Jeff Hathorn, News Radio KDKA.
