Man arrested in connection with stabbing of Mike Adams

Police in Pittsburgh have taken into custody 25-year-old Michael C. Paranay of Hazelwood, Pa., in connection with the stabbing of Steelers offensive tackle Mike Adams and attempted theft of his vehicle.

As quoted by Alan Robinson in the Tribune-Review: "It goes beyond the team," Tomlin said. "I think as members of the community, we need to recognize that there are some things going on, on the South Side, that make it a dangerous place, particularly after hours. We all need to take proper precautions. Hopefully as a community we will take the steps necessary to assure that this doesn't happen to anyone else, whether it's as a Pittsburgh Steeler or not."

A suspect is in custody Tuesday in Allegheny County Jail, as police continue to hunt for two other men who are said to have been involved.

"He's blessed to be in the position he's in, as we expect a full recovery from him," Tomlin said, as quoted by Robinson. "He's got great team support, family support. He realizes, of course, how fortunate that he is."
