Police seek teen who stabbed man

SCRANTON - A city man was stabbed in the leg by a teenager he caught throwing eggs at his West Scranton home Tuesday night.

Capt. Glen Thomas said Jon Smerecky, 22, chased a boy he said was egging his home on the 1400 block of West Gibson Street, caught him on North Sumner Avenue, and said he was going to hold the boy until police arrived, at which time the boy pulled a knife and stabbed him in the back of his left leg.

The teenager, who the man described as black, standing about 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing roughly 145 pounds, was wearing a tan parka with a hood, Capt. Thomas said.

Mr. Smerecky was taken to the hospital by a family member.

Anyone with information should contact Scranton detectives at 348-4139.
