A Navy veteran was hospitalized after being brutally attacked and robbed in his Philadelphia neighborhood.

Authorities are still investigating the Saturday beating of 62-year-old Scott Harris, according to WTFX-TV.

The former naval officer was walking his dog around 11:30 p.m. when he was attacked near a large party taking place in a park.

The beating landed Harris in the emergency room — without memory of the incident.

He incurred a brain injury, broken teeth and facial bruising in the unprovoked attack and spent three days in the hospital.

Harris’ wallet, which contained his ID and credit cards, was also stolen.

Harris recounted his overseas deployments in an interview with WTFX — as well as the circumstances of the beating that left him with more than 100 stitches.

“There was a large party going on across the street that in hindsight I probably should have not walked near, and the next thing I remember, I’m in the emergency room because I just kind of blacked out after that,” Harris told the station.

“I did a year in a war zone in Iraq, did two years in Ukraine, and would not have expected this to happen in my very own neighborhood,” he said.


Joseph Hurchick, who lives with Harris, says three good Samaritans helped Harris and the dog home after the appalling crime.

“They brought him back. Otherwise, I don’t know what would have happened,” he said.

Hurchick is now calling for more of a police presence in their neighborhood.

He says that local authorities have proved unwilling to address their concerns about large gatherings in the nearby park.

“This is what happens when something’s not policed. It could have been worse,” Hurchick said. “Is it going to take a murder for … this to stop?”

Misinformation is driving this mania. You have leftwing panicmongers like MSNBC’s O’Donnell predicting ‘millions’ will die if churches are ‘packed’ on Easter. Inaccurate Virus Models Are Panicking Officials Into Ill-Advised Lockdowns How a handful of Democratic activists created alarming, but bogus data sets to scare local and state officials into making rash, economy-killing mandates. By Madeline Osburn, The Federalist, March 25, 2020 As U.S. state and local officials halt the economy and quarantine their communities over the Wuhan virus crisis, one would hope our leaders were making such major decisions based on well-sourced data and statistical analysis. That is not the case. A scan of statements made by media, state governors, local leaders, county judges, and more show many relying on the same source, an online mapping tool called  COVID Act Now.  The website says it is “built to enable political leaders to quickly make decisions in their Coronavirus response i...

Certain people made billions from 9/11, it looks like many more bosses were given a heads-up just before Covid-19 exploded! Why Did Hundreds Of CEOs Resign Just Before The World Started Going Absolutely Crazy? In the months prior to the most ferocious stock market crash in history and the eruption of the biggest public health crisis of our generation, we witnessed the biggest exodus of corporate CEOs that we have ever seen. And as you will see below, corporate insiders also sold off billions of dollars worth of shares in their own companies just before the stock market imploded. In life, timing can be everything, and sometimes people simply get lucky. But it does seem odd that so many among the corporate elite would be so exceedingly “lucky” all at the same time? One financial publication is using the phrase “the great CEO exodus” to describe the phenomenon that we have been witnessing. It all started last year when chief executives started resigning in numbers, unlike anything th...
