FRANKFORT, Ohio — A man was seriously injured early Friday in an assault at a home in Frankfort, and his condition worsened while crews were on the scene.
Ross County sheriff’s deputies responded to the home, and Concord Township fire and EMS crews were called around 5:20 a.m. for a man with facial injuries from an assault. Firefighters from a second department were requested for additional manpower as the call went on, and dispatchers later relayed that the man had stopped breathing.
The sheriff’s office has not released the man’s name or his condition, and there has been no official word on whether anyone has been taken into custody.
