A guy in Bristol, Tennessee was mowing the lawn recently when his 76-year-old father came after him with a CHAINSAW...

A 76-year-old guy in Tennessee recently tried to KILL his son by attacking him with a chainsaw while he was mowing the lawn.  Then the son defended himself by running his dad over with the LAWNMOWER.  The dad lost a leg because of it, and he's facing attempted murder charges.  The son isn't facing charges.

A guy in Bristol, Tennessee was mowing the lawn recently when his 76-year-old father came after him with a CHAINSAW.

The dad's name is Douglas Ferguson.  It's not clear what they were arguing about, or how things got to the point of CHAINSAW serious.  But it was part of an ongoing feud.

And the son was forced to defend himself . . . by running his dad over with THE LAWNMOWER.

Douglas suffered serious injuries, and ended up losing one of his legs.

This all happened back in June, but cops didn't arrest Douglas until last week, because he was still recovering.

They charged him with attempted murder, and for violating his probation from a previous assault charge.

His son isn't facing any charges.  (Herald Courier / Fox News)

(Here's Douglas's mugshot.)

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
