PITTSBURGH — A man was arrested early Friday morning after police said he threatened officers who responded to his South Side home for a report of a fight.

Channel 11’s Renee Kaminski reported that a neighbor called 911 after hearing what he thought was a big fight.

"I heard glass breaking.  I heard someone beating on the walls and someone screaming," said a neighbor.

Investigators said Murphy never threw a punch, but was charged with aggravated assault and making terroristic threats.

When police arrived at the Telescope Street home, authorities said Nicholas Murphy threatened the officers.

The neighbor who called police told Kaminski that he heard Murphy screaming at the cops.
