Officers rendered aid until paramedics arrived at the scene and transported the subjects to the hospital. Initial reports indicated one suspect had been arrested, but in today's statement, the police department confirmed two additional arrests later on Saturday."

Just a few hours earlier, Mayor Daniel Lurie had visited the plazas and talked to vendors, city workers and ambassadors regarding a pilot pop-up that included seven vendors and family activities such as face painting and a piñata-making workshop at both 16th Street plazas."
