SHENANDOAH – Several law enforcement agencies converged on the unit block of North West Street Tuesday afternoon after a man was assaulted.

Borough police said that they were called for a fight in the street around 3:00pm in the unit block of North West. Officers from Shenandoah, West Mahanoy Township, Mahanoy City, Frackville, and the State Police at Frackville all responded.

There, police said they found a man had been assaulted. Shenandoah Ambulance personnel treated the man at the scene before transporting him to the Shenandoah Helipad to an awaiting Lehigh Valley Health Network MedEvac helicopter.

Officers said they weren’t sure if he was assaulted with a weapon, and that they were still looking for the actor.

Further details were few, though blood droplets were scattered across North West Street near Mt. Vernon, in the roadway and on both sidewalks.

Shenandoah firefighters brought an engine to the scene to clean the road and sidewalks.

Borough police said they would have further details later in the day.

Keep a check on the Sentinel for further details as they become available.
