Police: Stow Man Arrested After Pummeling Cuyahoga Falls Resident

A Stow man was arrested after allegedly causing severe facial injuries to another man early Friday morning.

At 12:48 a.m., Cuyahoga Falls police responded to an apartment in the 1800 block of 2nd Street in reference to a suspicious situation, according to a news release posted to the department's Facebook page.

There, they discovered a 63-year-old man "covered in blood," the news release stated. 

The victim reportedly told police that Neil Redington, 60, of Stow had beaten and kicked him when he told him to leave the apartment.

The victim was taken to Akron City Hospital.

Shortly after the incident, police arrested Redington in the apartment building after spotting his blood-covered hands.

He was charged with felonious assault, a second-degree felony, and was taken to Cuyahoga Falls Jail.

He appeared in Stow Municipal Court at 8:30 a.m. Friday.

According to the Stow Municipal Clerk of Courts Office, his case will likely be bound over to the Summit County Court of Common Pleas in light of the felony charge.
