Man Beaten With Frying Pan

Steubenville, Ohio -- A man accused of assault was beaten with a skillet so severely that he may need plastic surgery.

Steubenville police said the man was injured in fight Monday night after he allegedly tried to sexually assault a woman in a home on the 1400 block of Oak Grove Avenue.

Police said the woman and her boyfriend retaliated by hitting the man over the head with a frying pan and a 40-ounce bottle of alcohol.

When officers arrived, they found the man lying in the street covered in blood with "severe lacerations all over his face and head," said Steubenville Police Detective Regis Holzworth.

Detectives have taken statements from the woman, her boyfriend and another male witness. Holzworth said incident is still under investigation and there are "several different sides to the story."

But Holzworth said the man who was beaten has provided little information and is not cooperating. Police said all he will say is his name, and they're not even sure he is who he says.

"He stated to me he was worried he was wanted. I informed him that I ran his fingerprints through the FBI database and he is not wanted. He still will not give us any information," Holzworth said.

Detectives said the case will not move forward unless the woman decides to press charges.
