Man Wanted In Clairton Machete Attack Arrested In Ohio

MARTINS FERRY (KDKA)- A man wanted for a violent machete attack in Clairton has been arrested in Ohio.

Roy Carswell was wanted on attempted homicide and aggravated assault charges.

The U.S. Marshals tracked him down at an apartment complex in Martin's Ferry, Ohio over the weekend.

"He eventually left Friday evening around 10 o'clock," said Deputy U.S. Marshal Jason Dias. "We followed him down Route 7 and coordinated a traffic stop with Martin's Ferry Police. We stopped him at the Star Fire gas station in Martin's Ferry."

Carswell was taken to the Belmont County Jail, where he is awaiting extradition to the Pittsburgh area.

Back in September, police say Carswell attacked a woman in Clairton and hit her several times with a machete.

The woman survived the attack.
