MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) — Police arrested a Medford man accused of attacking three women in a car with a running chain saw.

Detective Sgt. Mike Budreau says one of the women called 9-1-1 late Saturday to report the attack.

The woman said one passenger had to duck to avoid injury when the buzzing blade knocked out a window.

The suspect, 37-year-old David Stockton, has been charged with attempted assault, criminal mischief, disorderly conduct, harassment, menacing and endangering another.

One of the women in the car had dated Stockton. Although the couple had broken up, they were still trying to work things out.
