YOUNGSTOWN — It appears that no one has been charged with any offense in an early Tuesday fight on the East Side in which a man was seen on surveillance video hanging from a car that was driven into a building.

Youngstown police were called to apartments on Plaza View Court at 6:47 a.m. Tuesday for a vehicle crashed into the back of a building and found the 2020 Nissan Altima resting against the rear porch of the building unoccupied, a Youngstown police report states.

Tire tracks were observed in the parking lot and grass, which indicated the vehicle traveled south as it exited the roadway. There also was a destroyed chain-link fence and numerous parts of the vehicle observed. The vehicle was towed.

While an officer was at the scene, a female approached and said she was driving the vehicle when it went off the road, and that it happened during an altercation with her boyfriend, the owner of the car.

She said she and her boyfriend were in the parking lot when he started to scream at her. Her brother arrived, and he and her boyfriend argued until her boyfriend retrieved a gun from the car.

The woman said she jumped into the driver’s seat of the car to try to get away. She started to drive away, but her boyfriend also tried to get into the driver’s seat. He remained hanging partway from the car as the vehicle traveled through the parking lot and off the road, she told police. She said she ran away.

The officer went to the apartment office and watched surveillance video that showed three people arguing in the parking lot, then the vehicle driving away with a male hanging partway from the car while it was moving.

The vehicle then went off the road, hit a fence, then came to rest against the rear porch of the building, the report states. Both people were seen fleeing from the area in different directions, the report states.

At about 8:20 a.m. Tuesday, the boyfriend went to the Youngstown Police Department to report the incident, saying the woman was trying to drive his vehicle away when he jumped in the driver’s seat with her to try to stop her from driving off.

He said he fled after the accident out of fear for what her brother might do because he had threatened to shoot him before the crash, the report states. He got a ride to the police department and spoke with an officer.

Because he reported the incident to police after the crash, he was not cited for leaving the scene of an accident, the report states. He was given a release to get his vehicle back.
