N.Y. Man: Thrown Bowling Ball Hit Me in the Face

Police in Niagara Falls are investigating a reported assault with a bowling ball.

Authorities tell The Buffalo News that a man told police he was at the Rapids Bowling Alley on Saturday night when two highly intoxicated men in the next lane began arguing.

The man said one of them threw a bowling ball at the other. But the ball missed the intended target, bounced off a table and hit the victim in the eye.

The injured man said he had a black eye and was treated at Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center.

The man who threw the bowling ball was identified by the owner of the bowling alley, but there are no arrests reported.
