Police seek two men in abduction attempt

YOUNGSTOWN — Police are looking for two men who tried to abduct a 51-year-old woman from the front yard of her Erie Street home.

According to police, the woman was taking out the trash just after 11 p.m. Tuesday when a man grabbed her from behind and tried to force her back toward her home. Another man stood a short distance away, appearing to be a lookout, reports said.
