mugged

So I was out with some friends having a few drinks at local pub. I was getting tired so I decided to take off early and head home. I was about a block away from my home (I actually live in a very safe area... mainly surrounded by Yale Grad students) when WHAM something hits me in the side of the face. I come to seconds later and there's a guy kneeling beside and I have blood all over my arms and hands and this guy chased the mugger off before he went through my pockets. So the ambulance comes and off I go to the hospital where I stayed over night with hairline fractures on my cheek bone and nose. Good Samaritan stayed called my girlfreind and stayed with at the hospital until she arrived. This dude attacked me with a freaking pipe.
All this and New HAven cuts funding to the police and lays off half their cops... nonesense I tell you.

Damn! Sorry to hear about that!

My pal andy had almost the same thing happen to him, he walked across the street to the gas station for a pack of smokes and doritos and on his way back someone ran up out of nowhere from behind and clobbered him with something / knocked him out. There wasn't anyone around when he came to. But a couple days later Mystic Lake Casino a few towns over called him and said "we got your wallet here". No money checks or credit cards of course but he got his ID and SS card back.
 
Oh my . . . I'm glad you got out of this with minor injuries and that there was someone out there to help you.

It is a terrible thing when they cut budgets for police in an effort to "save" money.
 
Geesh, goes to show you how unpredictable life is. I lived in Europe for two years and I always had to be on my toes - three of my friends were robbed/pick-pocketed during that time, and another of my friends beat up a couple Nazis that attacked a guy on the street.

All the best to you.
 
That's awful! I hope you don't lose your left eye. I was elbowed in my right eye and lost half of my vision in it. You were very lucky to have someone help before anything more could happen.

May you have a swift and full recovery.
 
Woah....Yaay for good Samaritans though. ;)
 
Wow! That totally sucks. I'm sorry this happened to you but hope that you'll make a quick recovery.
 
Ouch! Sorry to hear. I wish you the best and a fast recovery.
 
That's terrible! Please be well.
