Police are investigating after a well-known businessman was allegedly savagely beaten by a group of teenagers in New Haven.
The street shows no sign of the attack, but folks who saw it can't forget it.
"Bleeding everywhere," said New Haven resident Rhea Brown, "he had blood all over him and it was like everyone just came to his aid."
It was 49-year-old Brooks Macquarrie lying in the street, part of family-owned New Haven Power Sports.
He was test driving a motor scooter he had just fixed, at the corner of Goffe and Orchard, when five to six teens apparently pulled him off, beating him before stealing the bike.
His head and ribs were fractured, his nose was broken, and those who work beside him are shocked and angry.
"It's a tragedy what happened to him and I wish someone would come forward, find out who did this," said Frankie Whitaker, Owner of Auto Experts. "He's a very well respected person."
Coming down the road and taking the corner is the regular route for test driving the scooters, so there is some speculation the teens orchestrated the attack and were just waiting for him.
"I hope they catch the kids that did that," said King Moye, Owner of Auto Experts. "Nobody deserves that, not on a day at work."
It happened Friday afternoon right near the popular Goffe Street park, so police have witnesses, which is a good thing because Macquarrie's injuries are so severe he doesn't remember what happened.
Folks want the teens caught whether they know Macquarrie or not.
"For them kids to do that it was just wrong," said Brown.
"Please come forward," said Whitaker, "that didn't have to happen, it didn't."
The business is open, but no workers are taking bikes for test rides.
Kel-Tec 9mm - Otherwise known as “The Trayvonator”.
With the good description of the hoodlums given in the article I’d say there’s a good chance of catching them.
Let me guess their race. How guesses do I get?
Al Sharpton and his Social Justice crew wants us to care about these black kids.
Obviously he was following them. They were just defending themselves.

Ah, yes. “Teens”. AP NewSpeak for black gangs.
Another New England gun-free zone...
More of Obama's sons play their violent games...
Obviously Mr. Macquarrie and the witnesses be old school and just not understanding the unfortunate youths who be new school. Old school think that scooter theirs, new school know it theirs.
That says it all in a nutshell right there.
Coming soon to a HUD-engineered neighborhood near you.
“This is for Trayvon!”
The folks who helped him are:

zero, sharpton, hackson, holder, et al have been giving blacks an excuse to beat the hell out of whites.
Wonder how many white rats are ok with this.
New Haven???
Is this where zero said the police acted stoopidly? Over his fwiend henry Louie gets? Maybe it’s one strike already on this spin cycle no pun.
They can't separate the judicial aspect of it from the reality experienced by their own senses. Yes, that's a sickness.
If Obama had sextuplet boys?
There were six of them. That indicates Black or Spanish. Whites don't do that kind of things in groups like that. Black yutes pack up.
and the color of the teens was......
can i guess black? five or six just pile’out of a car and start beating the crap out of a guy on a scooter. MO says they’re most likely black.
I am sure the perpetrators will be Amish yute thugs, right?
This is the chaotic new social dis-order,
void of personal safety,
common decency, and civilized behavior
that the multi-cultists have forced upon us,
and until America wakes up out of its blind obedience to Political Correctness
and recognizes this behavior for what it is, and admit that it is a serious problem,
violent crimes like these will only get worse....much worse.
