PITTSBURGH — Only Channel 11 is finding out about a bizarre attack in Station Square.
Police say a man armed with a knife barged into the Grand Concourse restaurant, threatening at least 15 diners.
"There's a lot of crazy things that happen here on the South Side," Dean Albert said. He's seen some pretty crazy stuff outside his auto body shop on East Carson Street, but nothing like what happened nearby last Saturday.

About an hour after Albert closed for the day, police say Donnie Alexander, armed with a knife, and was trying to get into people's cars, saying someone was going to kill him.
When Pittsburgh police arrived around 4:30 p.m. Saturday, they say Alexander took off for Station Square and went into the restaurant, screaming at customers and flipping tables.
Officers had to use Tasers to subdue Alexander and get him out of the restaurant.
The Grand Concourse manager told police, "Alexander had barged in without a reservation and she asked him to leave several times."
No one was hurt.
Alexander allegedly admitted to police that he smoked crack cocaine before doing all of this.
Alexander is charged with aggravated assault and criminal trespassing.
