PITTSBURGH —Pittsburgh police say they arrested a man who was riding a jet ski for assaulting an angler on the Ohio River and are looking for a second jet skier wanted for hitting another angler.

Police say David Hoffman and the anglers got into an argument on Sunday when the anglers, who were fishing from the shore with some children, complained Hoffman and another jet skier was splashing them.

Police say Hoffman came ashore, punched one of the anglers then fled. The River Rescue Crew arrested Hoffman at a boat dock. He's charged with assault, fleeing and providing false identification.

A phone message left with Hoffman's brother was not immediately returned.
