Pittsburgh police are investigating a report of a woman being raped in a women’s restroom during the Penguins' playoff hockey game Wednesday night at PPG Paints Arena.

Public safety spokeswoman Sonya Toler on Thursday said, "We are investigating a report of a sexual assault that reportedly occurred at the Pens Game last evening. The female victim walked in to the Zone 2 station last night at 12:01 a.m. to report the incident. Further details are not available at this time as the investigation is ongoing."

The Zone 2 station is in the Hill District, and its coverage area includes the arena.

The Penguins and their management company AEG said in a statement to KDKA-TV, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s news partner: “The Pittsburgh Police have informed us of the report and we are cooperating fully, because it is an ongoing police investigation we will have no further comment at this time.”

The team said it, too, is investigating the incident.

KDKA reported that the victim said the assault occurred between periods during the game and that she screamed for a half-hour, but no one came to her aid.
