"As reported by local news network WTAE 4, according to a recently filed criminal complaint, 35-year-old William Gregory allegedly broke into a house in the Beltzhoover neighborhood outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and began shouting that he was an ICE agent and demanded that the reportedly Hispanic family show him identifying paperwork. He was carrying a large pocket knife and threatened a 17-year-old boy living in the home as he tried to steal a PlayStation console and grabbed the boy's phone."
"Police report that the teenager fought back against the fake ICE agent and eventually punched Gregory in the face hard enough to knock him out cold. Police later arrived on the scene and found the intruder still unconscious. "I believe that is a Hispanic home, you know, and our neighborhood is very diverse," Crystal Calloway, who lives next door to the house where the robbery happened, told WTAE 4. She also told the outlet that she was concerned about someone pretending to be part of ICE."
