Vigilantes attacked a Beaver County man Tuesday because he allegedly tried to lure two children into his Economy Village home, Ambridge police said.
Police who found the bleeding man, Kenneth Newingham, outside his home later charged him with attempted luring.
The suspect told police he did not know his attackers and no charges have been filed in connection with the beating.
Investigators said Mr. Newingham, 43, had been inviting children to his home since last month. Only once did any of them accept, police said.
On Tuesday evening he tried to lure a 10-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl who did not go inside, police said.
