COMPUTER THEFT INJURY



Computer theft injury
YOUNGSTOWN -- A West Side man was injured Friday evening when he was dragged from a vehicle as he tried to get inside and retrieve a laptop computer that was taken from him.
Michael Abighanem, 20, of North Evanston Avenue, suffered injuries on the right side of his body when he got caught in the back door of a car after trying to open it.
According to a police report, two men approached Abighanem's front porch and stole the victim's computer before fleeing in a blue or gray Lincoln Town Car. Abighanem chased the vehicle as it sped on North Evanston in an attempt to get his computer back, the report states.
After the two men heard Abighanem's screams, they stopped near Connecticut and Belle Vista avenues and the victim jumped into the back seat. One of the perpetrators pointed a small black handgun at Abighanem's head and chest, the report states.
Afterward, the men returned Abighanem's computer and dropped him off near a Sparkle Market on Mahoning Avenue, the report shows.
Abighanem was treated at St. Elizabeth Health Center and released.
