Man facing charges after making threats at Oakland bar, resisting arrest

PITTSBURGH — A man is facing a series of charges after allegedly making threats inside a popular Oakland bar while saying he had guns.

Michael Urbano, 30, was asked to leave the bar after he couldn't show identification. That's when he allegedly told a bartender at the Garage Door Saloon that she should "be scared of me" and that he had guns.

The bartender called police, who soon caught up with Urbano at a nearby pizza shop.

That's when the situation turned violent. According to police paperwork, Urbano spit at officers, kicked patrol car windows and smashed his head on the hood, cutting his head in the process.

He also allegedly told officers "I wish all of your kids die...and that's why I shoot cops."

A Pitt student who talked to Channel 11 said the bartender at Garage Door Saloon made the right call in alerting police.

"You can't really take that as a joke or anything," said Ben Rathsmill. "You gotta take it pretty seriously. You got to call the cops."

He also said Garage Door Saloon is a "normal Oakland bar" and that the incident with Urbano is not a normal occurrence.

Urbano is in jail facing 13 counts including making terroristic threats and assault.
