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.
So many freepers
So stupid and naive about their possible extinction one day
God help us
Problem solved.

Post of the week!
Recently watched an old movie about the Apache wars. Looked up some reviews, and one of the reviewers referenced the “supposed” atrocities committed by the Apaches in the movie.
I won’t go into detail, but there was no supposition at all about what happened being atrocities.
I’m all in favor of having a presumption of innocence for someone accused of a crime, but it someone is assaulted it’s not all alleged assault, it’s a real assault.
Arrest someone for that real assault, and then you can legitimately say he is alleged to have commited it.;
. Thank you, Jeff, for that picture and text. It needs a wide distribution.
New Haven? Those must be Holder’s people.
Young black men: 3% of the population commit 50% of murders.
Does the hate crimes task force established by Holder and co. know about this? Let them know at sanford.florida@usdoj.gov
Race war
If there were “five to six Black males” then why did they even bother beating him? They could have easily just stolen the bike away from him.
Too bad you didn’t BET him a thousand dollars.
So stupid and naive about their possible extinction one day
God help us
Indeed. As we continue down this road of forced and increased non white immigration plus the out of whack birth rate along with race politics/grievance just where exactly do whites think this is all going?
