PITTSBURGH — A large party had to be broken up by police in Oakland in the same area where a porch roof collapsed just a day earlier.

Pittsburgh Police were called to the 300 block of Semple Street to help Pitt Police with a large crowd of people.

That was the same location where a porch roof collapsed and injured 16 people on Friday.

A permit had been issued for an event there but police said they revoked it because the crowd size was significantly higher than what was allowed.

One person was taken to a hospital with a minor face injury after falling on the sidewalk.

No arrests were made and no citations were issued.

The crowd was broken up without incident.
