BAINBRIDGE – A Bainbridge man was injured Wednesday night after being dragged by a vehicle following a verbal dispute.

According to Trooper Christopher May of the New York State Police Troop C Sidney Barracks, 19-year old Russell Darling was dragged for approximately 20 feet while clinging to the passenger window of a maroon Dodge Dakota pick-up driven by Tyler Dodge, 24.
