I couldn't find this posted anywhere yet. I just saw this on GMA, and thought it was pretty interesting.

South Whitehall doc clobbered son-in-law, police say
http://www.mcall.com/news/breaking/...ged-withattempted-mu-20130911,0,5175779.story

From the link:
"Georges J. Bensimhon, a 66-year-old anesthesiologist, waited for his son-in-law to leave his Cleveland Heights home early Sept. 4, jumped out from behind some bushes and bashed him in the head with the pry bar, police said."

The son-in-law started overpowering him, and GB yelled out his name and for him to get off of him because he couldn't breathe. Crazy!
 
Seth Alan Hoffer, 39, a Cleveland neurosurgeon, fought back, broke Bensimhon's arm during the struggle and held him down until police arrived, according to court documents.
Hoffer's father told police there were several incidents involving Bensimhon and his son in the past, including threats. According to records filed in Cuyahoga County Court, Hoffer and Bensimhon's daughter, Danielle, are going through a lengthy divorce and custody battle over their daughter, who turns 2 next month.


Above is from your link. Crazy, glad he was able to overpower him and got his licks in. jmo
 
Cleveland Heights police said Bensimhon had a bag with him containing several syringes, some filled with different types of anesthetics. Police reports did not indicate what he planned to do with them.
Police found a bag hidden in some bushes in the backyard at Hoffer's home. In the backpack, they found several syringes, some filled with anesthetics, more latex gloves, screwdrivers, keys and other objects.
So there are 2 bags? This guy is crazy and he his out on bond.

Exactly! What exactly was he going to do with those syringes?? Also, I haven't seen anything about the daughter having any involvement, but if not, can you imagine your father doing something like that? eeeks.
 
That video also says he has been released on bail. Not a good idea, imo.
 
This guy was really ready to kill wasn't he??

Oh boy.. Pretty sure this won't go well for him..

Two bags, that's what I thought until I reread.

The first half of the article, where bag was first mentioned, was written 'newspaper style' not in chronological order.

About halfway into article, it says "According to Cleveland Heights police:"
with the next 9 paragraphs chronological, as if reporter summarized the police report. The ninth paragraph refers to bag, then backpack, w. syringes, etc.

One bag/backpack.

MOO.:seeya:

"Alan, I can't breathe! Get off me!"

If this wasn't so serious, it would be hilarious.
