PITTSBURGH -- Two suspects accused in a reign of terror went to court Thursday.
Herman Girvin and James Davies are charged with attacking people on the South Side, Uptown and in the Strip District on the same night last month.
The suspects allegedly terrorized people on the road while driving a Ford Excursion.
Girvin's attorney, Bruce Carsia, said, "There were no serious injuries or attempted to cause serious injury. There was more of a simple assault than an aggravated assault."
Then, attorneys for Davies and Girvin waived their hearing to court.
"I didn't see a need to hear it today. I'm content to send it downtown," Patrick Coyne, Davies' attorney, said.
In one example, police said a Ford Escort was chased off the road on the North Side.
When the people got of the car, police said Davies and Girvin slammed the SUV into it.
It is unclear who was behind the wheel of the car during this night of terror.
"We don't really know what happened and we're not going to talk about it until we go to court," prosecuting attorney, Jim Ecker, said.
Davies is charged with two counts of simple assault, two counts of wreckless endangerment of another person, one count of criminal mischief, one count of wreckless driving and one count of driving while under DUI suspension.
