One officer was injured and several windows were broken during a riot Monday night outside of the Allegheny County Jail and Pittsburgh Municipal Court building.

Officials said jail staff called 911 around 7:45 p.m. to report a group of about 20-25 rioters outside the jail throwing rocks, sticks and firing fireworks. Rioters were wearing all black with black masks. One person from the group was carrying a drum. Others had sticks and metal pipes that they were banging together, police said.

A bicycle officer got into a scuffle with a man, later identified as Tyler Kobel. The officer and Kobel fell to the ground. When the officer pulled out his Taser, Kobel stopped resisting and was taken into custody, police said.

The officer suffered a shoulder injury and was checked by paramedics.

Another man, identified as James Griffin, allegedly charged at a second bicycle officer. A third officer intervened and helped to take Griffin into custody, police said.

As rioters ran from the scene, police say they broke side mirrors of vehicles and the mechanical arm of a gate to a driveway. An Allegheny County Sheriff's vehicle and another vehicle had rear windows broken.
