FARRELL Police try to ID beating victim found unconscious in alley



The man has several tattoos on his arms and left hand.
FARRELL, Pa. -- Police are still trying to identify a man found beaten unconscious in an alley in the 600 block of Wallis Avenue two days ago.
Police Chief Riley Smoot said his department had telephone calls from people who thought they recognized the description of the victim, but none of those leads panned out.
Smoot said police were called to the alley around 4:20 a.m. Saturday to investigate a suspicious noise report.
They found the man, with severe facial cuts, lying in the alley. He wasn't carrying any identification.
Smoot said the man remained unconscious this morning in Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh, where he was listed in critical but stable condition.
He is described as a white man in his 30s with a thin black mustache and short black hair with a receding hairline. He is about 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighs between 150 and 160 pounds.
He has several tattoos, including an eagle on his upper right arm, a cobra on his inner right arm, a grim reaper on his outer right forearm, a cross of confusion -- a standard cross topped by a question mark -- on the outer left wrist and a black widow spider on the left middle finger.
