EASTLAKE, Ohio -- An Eastlake man is accused of shoving his neighbor during a dispute about shoveling snow.

A misdemeanor assault charge is pending against the 69-year-old man, according to a post on the police department's Facebook page.

A man told police he was clearing snow off his neighbor's sidewalk on East Overlook Drive on Sunday so walkers could get through.

Another neighbor, the 69-year-old man, approached him and demanded that he stop. He told the man that people could walk on the street, and the sidewalk is his property.

When the man continued to clear the snow, his neighbor came back with a snow blower and blasted him with snow. He shouted for the man to leave and shoved his face and neck.

Police in the post said the incident was "not very neighborly."
