CLEVELAND — Ohio officials are asking for help in identifying a man who was found on Nov. 14 on the CSX train tracks just west of the Tiedeman Road overpass in Brooklyn, Ohio.  

“I’m asking everyone in the greater Cleveland area to pause for a moment to look at the images of this man’s face – if you recognize him, please call the local authorities,” Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost said. “Everyone counts, and I’m hopeful that with the public’s help, we can regain this young man’s identity.”
