(Duquesne, PA) A man from Swissvale is facing charges of aggravated assault and attempted homicide after police confirm he allegedly hit another man with a hammer in Duquesne on Tuesday. This incident occurred at an apartment on the 2600 block of Duquesne Place Drive during an argument at the birthday party of the victim there. The victim wanted to get the group of men he was arguing with outside that apartment. According to police, three people, including thirty-seven-year-old Tyland Lamont Chambers began trying to break down the door of that apartment to get back inside it. According to the victim, Chambers, who said he was trying to get back inside so he could get his belongings, eventually got in. Police also confirm that the victim was hit by Chambers twelve times with a hammer, which was originally in the living room of the apartment. That man was taken to the hospital after getting cut in the head and after he was found by police. August 19th, 2025 will be when Chambers will make an appearance in court.
