A Hamilton man is recovering at a local hospital this afternoon after being injured by a chainsaw. According to New Hartford Police, 27-year-old Joseph Robinson was trimming a tree on Clinton Road, in New Hartford, when the chainsaw kicked back, cutting Robinson's face and jaw.

He was assisted down the tree he was working on by another co-worker. Robinson was taken to St. Elizabeth Medical Center where he'll undergo surgery
