YOUNGSTOWN

A Tyrell Avenue man was arrested about 9:50 a.m. Tuesday inside an apartment building on charges of resisting arrest and obstructing official business after he fell down a flight of steps while struggling with a police officer, according to reports.

Officers were called to the West Side apartment building on Tyrell Avenue for a report of a fight. When they arrived, a woman told them that TyranMadison, 20, had flattened one of the tires on her car and smashed a mirror, cutting his hand in the process.

An officer tried to talk to Madison, but he walked away, reports said. The officer grabbed the back of his sweatshirt, but Madison refused to stop and tried to break the officer’s hold. The pair tumbled down a flight of steps and put a hole in a wall, reports said.

Madison was treated for his cut before being booked into the Mahoning County jail.
