A man is charged with aggravated assault after allegedly attacking a transgender woman with a sword at Pittsburgh’s Wyndham Grand Hotel.

Local news stations, ABC 4 WTAE, CBS KDKA and WPXI 11, report that the incident happened after 1 a.m. on Thursday (4 July). A man named Jake O’Leary, aged 26, from Greenville, South Carolina, was named the aggressor.

He allegedly asked a group of three people, including the victim, to come to Pittsburgh a day earlier, offering his room at the Wyndham Grand for them to sleep over until their room was ready.

After going to bed, O’Leary allegedly got up to brandish a sword, yelling – as CBS KDKA quoted the victims – to the effect of ‘Allah does not approve’ before swinging the sword at the room occupants.

While shielding themselves, the victim was struck multiple times, ABC 4 WTAE reported.

The victim notified the police ‘while bleeding and screaming in the hallway,’ local news stations wrote. Police found blood stains near the room where the attack happened at the fifth floor, with the sword on the entryway to the room.

The victim brought themselves to the hospital while having a severe cut on their hand.

At some point during the incident, O’Leary’s face was injured and was taken to the hospital before being taken to jail, ABC 4 WTAE added.

O’Leary will go to court for a preliminary hearing on July 15.

Anthrocon 2024 #Numbers

Ahmar Wolf

There it is and 100% official

Attendance jumped by over 2,000

and see that fursuit parade number that beats what Anthrocon attendance from 2007, as well as beats what most cons get

I know there has been talk of where the new furries are coming from. But both AC and FWA where both saw a significant increase in numbers. I think we have our answer, I have no doubt that MFF will beat that number, the only question is by how much.

Let me give you a little insider info.

There are already hotels in the Rosemont area that are booked solid for MFF, and yes I know it’s July 8th. The same thing happened at AC, but I heard when they opened the hotel block. That those were the only rooms available at that hotel, the rest were booked solid.

It’s like I have always said, booking your own room ahead of time, is the only way you guarantee that you actually have a room.

One more thing… AirBnBs sold out at AC before the event. MFF they are available, at least the last time I checked.

You know this will only get worse as time marches on.
