Boston Police: Son Attacks Father With Ax During Blizzard

Boston authorities say a son attacked his father with an ax during Wednesday's blizzard and is now on the loose, according to the Boston Herald.

Police say 42-year-old Tracy Hough struck his 76-year-old father Ralph Hough with what is believed to have been an ax. He is currently in stable condition.

Neighbors said they weren't shocked about what the younger Hough is accused of doing.

"He was a very volatile person. I think his parents were scared of him," one neighbor told the Boston Herald.

"I wasn't surprised," another resident told the paper, describing Tracy Hough as a "very odd guy."

Police say the 42-year-old Hough is armed and dangerous.
