Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 31 Oct, 17:19 · Archive

A man was found with a stab wound to the chest near Capo's bar on Pittsburgh's South Side just before midnight on Friday. He was transported to hospital in critical condition. Police found evidence of a fight inside the bar and evacuated the building, according to Pittsburgh Public Safety.

The stabbing is the latest violent incident at Capo's. In August, the Allegheny County District Attorney's Office placed the bar under a consent order, outlining safety directives the bar must follow to continue operating. This followed an incident in which a woman reported being raped in a nearby parking lot after she was removed from the bar. District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala Jr. had announced plans to shut Capo's down, filing a petition to revoke its liquor license and close it for a year, but then placed the request on hold.
