Neighbor hit doing good deed

WARREN — A 41-year-old man who was mistaken for a burglar was assaulted while checking on a neighbor’s apartment around 6:15 a.m. Tuesday, police said.

The man said he knocked and entered through the open door of the apartment of his downstairs neighbor. Moments later, two men followed him inside, yelling at him and hit him, accusing him of breaking into their friend’s apartment, the police report states.

The upstairs neighbor said he ran outside and one of the other men grabbed a chunk of asphalt and struck him in the right side of his head, leaving a large cut and a bump, the report states.
