Solon Resident Attacked With Knife, Police Say

SOLON, OH — A person was attacked with a knife during a fight in Solon near Cromwell Drive and North Roundhead, according to police records.

At about 6:30 p.m. on July 9, callers began reporting a large fight and people apparently wielding knives. When officers got there, the suspects had taken off in a car. One of the victims was able to identify the attackers.
