Who tried to rob whom?

YOUNGSTOWN — City police are still trying to determine how an ax-wielding man ended up pinned to the ground by a man missing one leg on the city’s South Side.

Police found the 49-year-old Lakewood Avenue man holding an ax but pinned down by a 49-year-old Dorothy Avenue man who told police his artificial leg fell off while he was running moments earlier at 1:38 a.m. today. Both men claimed the other tried to rob him.

Police said both men were less than truthful about the events leading to the situation, but officers found a broken crack pipe and bags used to hold illegal drugs, leading officers to believe the situation was drug induced. Police made no arrests.
