From staff reports

Police arrested a 16-year-old girl at Riverfront Park on Sunday suspected of assaulting another girl, attacking an adult passerby who tried to intervene, and then kicking a police officer who chased and caught her, according to a police news release.

The girl discarded a knife when she attempted to flee, police said. No one was seriously hurt.

Police officers on patrol saw the teen was holding a knife and intervened, police said.
