YOUNGSTOWN — A man was stabbed outside of the WRTA bus station at 340 W. Federal St. at 11:43 a.m. Tuesday, but when police reviewed surveillance video they determined he was the aggressor in a confrontation involving the man who stabbed him, and no charges were filed.

The man who was stabbed, 32, also told police that he did not want to press charges against the other man.

Police were called to the bus station by a WRTA security guard for a stabbing. When the officer arrived, the security guard said a man on a bicycle stabbed another man and rode away. The stabbing victim walked away down Commerce Street downtown.

Officers located the stabbing victim on Commerce Street wearing a red hooded sweatshirt and had blood coming from his shoulder. He said he was attacked and stabbed by a juvenile at the bus station, and the juvenile took his “sling bag.” The man slurred his speech and was uncooperative. An ambulance was requested for him, and he was taken to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital for treatment, the report states.

At the same time, an officer off duty working a side duty reported seeing a man on a bicycle on Vindicator Square near Front Street, not far from the bus station.

The original officer went back to the bus station and spoke with the security supervisor, who showed the officer surveillance video that showed the man who was stabbed being the aggressor in the confrontation, the report states.

It showed the man with the bicycle putting the bicycle on the rack in the front of a bus. Then the person who was stabbed approached the man with the bicycle and was “swinging at him, striking him,” the report states.

The man with the bicycle then backed away, but the man who was stabbed was “again seen posturing as if to fight, to which (the man with the bicycle) pulls a knife and makes two stabbing movements toward” the man who was stabbed. Following the stabbing, the man with the bicycle grabbed his bicycle and ran away. The officer noted in the report that the video did not show the man who was stabbed possessing a bag before or during the confrontation.

Officers spoke with the man on the bicycle later when they found him on Marshall Street nearby. He said the man who was stabbed was following him around the bus station before approaching him and attacking him, the report states.

Officers checked the man on the bicycle and found a utility knife on his person. It was secured and turned in at the police station as evidence. The incident was “documented,” but no charges were filed in Youngstown Municipal Court as of Wednesday afternoon.
