Man claims he was beaten, robbed of his gun Sunday

YOUNGSTOWN — A 20-year-old man told police Sunday he was beaten and his 9mm handgun was taken after he got out of his car in the 700 block of Cambridge Avenue

Officers were called about 9:10 p.m. to the scene where the man told police he was getting out of his car when another car with three men inside pulled up next to his.
