7 Arrested in Deadly Street Fight

Authorities in eastern Pennsylvania have arrested seven suspects in a street fight that left a man dead over the weekend.
 
Police in Berks County told the Reading Eagle that all seven Reading residents will be charged with aggravated and simple assault.
 
Investigators said additional charges could be filed once they determine who stabbed 23-year-old Israel Maisonet of Reading.
 
Police said he died after being punched, kicked and stabbed early Saturday in Reading.
 
Officials said they believe Maisonet was fighting with one of the men in the middle of the street when the other six joined in and began beating him.
 
Police said he fled to the sidewalk but the group punched and kicked him, and at some point one of them stabbed him in the neck.
