Officers were first called to a home on Lumpkin Street just after 4 a.m. Wednesday, where they found a 44-year-old man on a porch, missing a hand and suffering from other injuries. A tourniquet was applied before EMS arrived. The severed hand has not been found.
Following a trail of blood, officers were led to a home on Waterman Street. After obtaining a search warrant, police found two men and evidence of the assault.
