YOUNGSTOWN — A man suffered a stab wound to his back, apparently at a bar.

But when police went to his home on Newberne Circle at 3:02 a.m. Sunday, he told officers he did not want to make a report.

Officers had already called for an ambulance and saw blood leading into the house, on his pants and arms and on the floor just inside the front door where he was standing as he was talking to officers, a Youngstown police report states.

He said he was struck in the head with something, but he could not say for sure where it happened. He remembered being in the bar an officer asked him about. He said it was the last place he had gone.

As the man turned to walk away from officers, they saw the stab wound on his back.

Officers questioned the man more, and he said someone dropped him off at home about 11:30 p.m. and he went to sleep, before calling his sister, who called police to respond to his house.

The man said he would drive himself to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital, but the ambulance arrived first and took him.

His sister said he video called her on his phone, said he was dizzy and showed her the blood. That is when she called 911. She gave the name of the bar she thinks he went to and said she thinks that is where he got into an altercation, but she did not know the severity of his injury until he called her, she said.

When ambulance personnel arrived, they found that the man also had a large laceration on his head. The man later told ambulance personnel he was in a vehicle when he was assaulted.

The report concluded that police did not know for sure where he was assaulted and did not have any suspect information. The man was in stable condition at the hospital.
