A U.S. Navy veteran says he was brutally beaten and robbed Saturday night while walking his dog in a Philadelphia neighborhood.
Scott Harris, 62, was left with a brain injury and required at least 100 stitches after he was beaten by a crowd of people around 11:50 p.m. in the city’s Brewerytown neighborhood, according to NBC10. “That night on Saturday, there was a huge party going on over here,” he told the outlet. “A little bit out of control but nothing terribly concerning to me. Next thing you know, I’m in the emergency room getting stitches.”
At least one individual knocked Harris unconscious and stole his wallet, the outlet reported, citing police. There was no money inside, just his mother’s driver’s license, which he’s held onto since her death. “Sadly, only thing I really cared about in that wallet was my mother’s driver’s license,” Harris continued. “She passed about 10 years ago. That’s kind of how I kept her close and now I don’t even have that.”
After serving in Iraq and Ukraine for years, Harris said he was stunned that the most brutal experience of his life would happen right here at home.
Three women helped Harris back to his home, where his partner, Joseph Hurchick, called 911, FOX29 reported. “They brought him back, otherwise I don’t know what would have happened,” Hurchick told the outlet. “We were on the stoop and he was just bleeding, I was on the phone with 911, I didn’t know where the blood was coming from, I didn’t know if he was stabbed.”
Hurchick told FOX29 that although he and Harris have complained to the police multiple times about parties and large crowds in the neighborhood, nothing has been done. “It’s going to take a murder for this to stop,” Hurchick said.
🤔🤔🤔🤪
He’s never going to fully recover from that vicious beating.
He is fortunate to still have the ability to talk in complete sentences. That sort of evening walk is something many dog owners will do routinely. The fresh air and casual pace usually makes for a nice way of ending the day.
No one expects such a neighborhood walk may end their lives. Well, they never expected such an outcome until now.
Go to West Chester dude. It’s near Philly but tame with very few yutes and Trump flags and stickers everywhere.
What neighborhood?
Homosexual walking his dog at 11:50 pm in filthadelphia? By a wildass party? That’s animal cruelty this idiot committed.
Lol, how quaint.
.....I would be thinking...in addition to CCW pistol and the two spare mags...do I sling a 12ga, AK or AR (or more than one) over my shoulder?
You sound like a DU punter.
Our neighborhood is now almost completely ‘Latino’.
Friendly and quiet for the most part, except for weekends..............
In better days this problem house would have been burned to the ground.
L
Sorry. Not sorry.
IF YOU ARE WHITE, LEAVE THE LARGE CITIES NOW!!!
DNA can not be changed. Scott Adams is 100% correct. Stay away from them.
“You sound like a leftover from the Stormfront purge....”
How many more examples are needed to show that blacks are incredibly violent, racist, and hateful? It is not racist to point it out and adjust your daily activities to avoid them. Now, it is a matter of survival.

I moved from Colorado back to central Florida where I grew up. I live in Polk County where Grady Judd is sheriff. The scum don’t come out of their holes very often. My neighborhood is too expensive for most Latinos, but my brother lives a few miles away in my parents old house (where I grew up) and it has gone mostly Latino except for the lake front which is too expensive and where my brother lives. Across the street from my brother lives a sheriff’s deputy and his son had a car break-in recently with a car parked next to the sheriff car. My brother has cameras all over his house that link to his phone with alerts. I don’t have any of that, just my 100lb German Shepherd.
The Latinos in my neighborhood drive really huge Dodge, Chevy pickups. Some are near $100k.
Of course when you work under the table, don’t pay any taxes, SS, Medicare and live in a house with ten other guys, then you can afford to live like a gringo...............
Was the party Black?
If yes, then the white guy has no common sense going anywhere near it at that hour.
Was the mob white?
Hard to imagine a bunch of drunk white guys randomly beating a dog walker unconscious. That's outside my experience, anyway.
My biggest concern is not even mentioned...
Is the dog OK?
Also, he served “in Iraq and Ukraine”
