YOUNGSTOWN — A boy, 17, was charged with felonious assault, misdemeanor assault and misdemeanor carrying a concealed weapon in Mahoning County Juvenile Court after being taken there Tuesday for allegedly stabbing a man in the leg at a home on Imperial Street on the West Side.

The boy pleaded “denial” Wednesday in juvenile court, the juvenile equivalent of not guilty, and is being detained in the Martin P. Joyce Juvenile Justice Center. He will have his second hearing in about a week.

Police were called to Imperial Street at 11:33 a.m. Tuesday for a fight and spoke with the victim, who said he was in the home making breakfast when he got into an argument with his mother-in-law.

He said the woman was “storming out of the room when she stepped on his son, who is less than 2 years old and was playing on the floor.” They continued to argue, and the 17-year-old struck the victim twice in the face with a closed fist, a Youngstown police report states.

The victim went to a neighbor’s house, then went outside and the 17-year-old ran at the victim with a knife in his hand, the report states.

The victim was able to pin the 17-year-old to the ground. But during the fight, the victim was stabbed in the back of his left thigh, the report states. Others in the house broke up the fight, and the 17-year-old ran to the neighbor’s house, the report states. The victim refused medical attention for the injury.

The victim pointed to the house where the 17-year-old went, and officers went there and took him into custody. He also had two other knives, the report states.

The woman said she got angry with the victim because he was turning the volume of his phone up while she was trying to watch a video on her phone, so she got up and threw her bowl in the sink. She said that is when the victim and the 17-year-old got into a physical fight.

Officers spoke with a witness at a nearby house who said he or she recorded the fight on a phone. The fight took place in a front yard, the report states.
