Early Wednesday morning, Youngstown police officers were called to the scene of a suspected aggravated assault.

According to the police report, police were called to E. Midlothian Blvd. because a woman was bleeding.

When police arrived, they heard a woman screaming for help. Her right arm had a large cut and was bleeding heavily.

The alleged victim told police that she was with her boyfriend, “Bob,” and had been drinking when they stopped in the 70 block of E. Midlothian Blvd. The woman told police that they gave a man a ride to the location where he attacked her.

She said a suspect in the back seat of the car pulled out a knife and stabbed “Bob,” who then got out of the vehicle and ran south toward Helena Avenue.

According to the report, the suspect began arguing with the woman over her keys and cell phone.

The suspect then fled on foot towards W. Midlothian.

Officials said the man, now named “Bob,” never showed up at a local hospital for treatment of his stabbings, but the woman was taken to a hospital for her injuries and was listed in stable condition.

The report noted that the back seat was stuffed with clothing and other items and stated that it “would have been difficult for someone to sit in the back seat.”

Officers went to the hospital to interview the alleged victim again. According to the report, the victim stated “it was a long story and she was stupid.”
