Man hurt in attack

AUSTINTOWN — An attack at a party on New Year’s Day left one man injured.

The victim said he was at a party at Central Park West Apartments on New Hampshire Court when an altercation broke out early Thursday. He told police three men pulled guns on him, and he was hit in the face by one of the guns, chipping his tooth. The victim said he was then jumped and beaten by the men.

The victim’s friend said he witnessed the attack but was unable to help because one of the attackers was pointing a gun at his face.
