Louisville police: 17 downtown mob incidents Saturday

he teen mob violence that spawned at least 17 assaults and robberies
Saturday night in downtown Louisville may have been fermenting for
nearly a week — and be connected to the fatal stabbing of a 14-year old
on a TARC bus.

A TARC spokeswoman said Monday that a horde of
teens attempted to storm a bus at 34th and Broadway on March 18, the
same day Me'Mequale Offutt died of his injuries after he was stabbed in
the heart two days earlier during a scuffle on a TARC bus.

A few
hours later March 18, teenagers attacked another bus at 38th and
Broadway and pelted it with rocks, said TARC spokeswoman Kay Stewart.
Both buses were damaged, and both attacks were reported to police, she
said.
