Stabbed for bike

WARREN

A 25-year-old man living in a shelter on Main Avenue Southwest said he was stabbed near the shelter about 4 a.m. Friday by a man trying to steal his bicycle.

The victim said he got locked out of the shelter, so he decided to sleep in some woods behind the shelter. At around 4 a.m., he awoke and saw a man walking away from the shelter with his bicycle.

The victim confronted the thief, which led to a fight and the victim’s being stabbed. The victim recovered his bicycle and went by ambulance to the hospital for treatment of a 3-inch cut, police said. The victim also had swelling around his nose and eyes, police said.

The entrance ramp from Bailey Road to Interstate 76 westbound in Jackson Township is closed through mid- October for pavement repairs on I-76 westbound. The detour is Bailey to Mahoning Avenue to state Route 534 to I-76. The work is part of a $500,000 project to make pavement repairs along I-76 westbound, just west of Bailey.
