CHARGES PENDING IN BRUTAL HARTLAND BRAWL

The Buffalo News reports on a brawl in our neck of the woods....

HARTLAND—Niagara County sheriff’s deputies plan to lodge felony assault charges against an unidentified man who attacked two others outside a Ridge Road tavern last Sunday, officials said Saturday.

Deputies called the beer-bottle attack unprovoked.

A 30-year-old Dale Road resident needed 15 stitches to close a gash on his ear and later underwent reconstructive surgery on his cheek and face, said deputies, adding that a 35- year-old Lockport man received multiple stitches in his forehead and also suffered a concussion in the attack.
