Argument over gifts turns violent in city

YOUNGSTOWN

A couple argued Christmas morning at a home in the 200 block of East Midlothian Boulevard because a man was upset the mother of his child gave her other children more presents than the child they had together, reports said.

Police were called to the home about 11:50 a.m. Tuesday, where reports said the father was upset at the mother of their 2-year-old son because that child only got one Christmas gift while her other children received several more. The two argued, and the father grabbed her hair. She then hit him in the head with a frying pan, reports said.

He then punched her in the face, reports said. Reports said the mother is also pregnant and the man is the father. Both said they wanted to press charges against the other.
