PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Pittsburgh police said a 12-year-old boy was stabbed inside a McDonald’s in Downtown Pittsburgh Saturday afternoon.
Police said they arrested 51-year-old Charles Edward Turner in connection with the stabbing. He’s facing several charges, including criminal attempted homicide.
The child was transported to the hospital in critical condition. A criminal complaint states that a doctor upgraded his condition to stable. It also said a black and yellow box cutter was recovered from the scene and a piece of razor blade that broke off the box cutter was recovered where the stabbing happened.
“It’s really quite a tragic thing on a beautiful Saturday downtown,” said Cara Cruz, she’s the Deputy Public Information Officer for the Pittsburgh Public Safety Department.
Police said the 12-year-old boy was stabbed in the neck inside McDonald’s on Liberty Avenue and Stanwix Street just after 2:00 p.m. Saturday. Cruz said the child was standing in line with his family when the incident happened.
“He was with his family, he was standing in line, they had just zipped in for one quick thing,” Cruz said.
People walking in the busy downtown area were shocked and scared when they heard the news.
“I think it’s terrible that something like that can happen,” said Anthony Benson, who just moved to Pittsburgh from Philadelphia.

Since race was not mentioned, we strongly suspect that perhaps there’s more to the story. OK, we know. Look at what “they” really tried (and failed) to do about the new woke thing: anti-Asian racism.
Thankfully, the media is so demonstrably stupid that they cannot even do fake lying well.
Oh well, journalism. When you absolutely, positively cannot do anything well at all.
we need to bring back insane asylums
Well, obviously then, this could not have been a hate crime.
They hate whites, but I don’t expect everyone to understand.
thus it wont be reported, no one will mention this poor child brutally murdered since the perp is the “Right” race
Some Critical Race Theory hustler will just say that the man was helping the kid “check his White Privilege”.
The suspect is black. What race is that boy ? If he is non black, hate crime it is
White on black or black on white. No good either way. Just wondering. Someone cut line. Why can’t we all get along..
A box cutter is a slashing weapon, not a stabbing device. The article stated the boy was injured on his neck and in critical condition.
The perp slashed his throat......
Some 12-year-olds are hardened killers. How do we know this wasn’t self-defense? I know, box cutters? That’s the weapon of choice of guys named Mohammed.
Prayers for the victim.
Thank God the boy is alive and now in stable condition, initially critical, per article.
Attempted murder for sure. Probably.pkead down to some kind of assault.
Plead down, not pkead.down . Eesh.
They also hate Koreans in a lot of cities. They hate East Indians in some places. My own take is it’s because these groups open businesses in black areas and are successful.
This type of crime happens all too frequently. The only thing rare about it is the fact it was reported. If the national media reported every black on white murder the constant drumbeat of complaints about white privilege and terrorism would end quickly. It is long past time to have the honest conversation demanded by Eric Holder backed with real facts about what is happening today, not 100 years ago.
They put his name in the article because it sounds...white.....
Oh I didnt know, thank God he is going to be OK..Heck if this had happened in Los Angeles the perp would have been released after an hour
