We present transverse momentum spectra of unidentified charged hadrons at two pseudo-rapidities (η = 0, 2.2) as well as the first results on identified negatively charged pions at rapidity 2.2 from Au+Au collisions at GeV. The high p
T
yields of charged hadrons in the most central collisions show a strong suppression when compared to expected binary-scaled yields from nucleon-nucleon collisions or semi-peripheral collisions. The π
– spectra at forward rapidity (y = 2.2) also indicate a clear suppression of high p
T
π
– yields in central collisions.
