Hooligans Assault Autistic Individual, Knocking Out His Teeth in Hammond Park; One Individual Charged: "They Began Beating Me"

In the heart of Hammond, Indiana, a 44-year old resident named Scott Lindsey is currently recovering from a traumatic event that took place on August 15.

As Scott was biking home from work around 7 p.m., he was unexpectedly confronted in Hessville Park. A group of individuals, some on bikes, verbally taunted and called names before launching into a brutal attack. The assault left Scott with severe injuries, including the majority of his front teeth being knocked out.

The incident was captured on video by one of the attackers, who later posted it on social media. However, the identity of this individual remains unknown, as the search results do not provide any information about who recorded and published the violent crime.

Despite the shocking and violent nature of the attack, no one intervened on Scott's behalf during the incident. It was only when someone saw the commotion and called 911 that officers rushed to the scene, finding Scott bloodied but the attackers gone.

Scott's family, who claim he is autistic, has expressed concern about the cost of his extensive dental work, which will be required to repair the damage from the attack. They are seeking help from the public to find the perpetrators and are encouraging anyone with information about the incident to contact the Hammond Police Department.

In the wake of the attack, Scott has made it clear that he will not be cutting through Hessville Park anytime soon. One person has been charged in connection with the incident, but the search continues for the other attackers.

Scott's initial instinct was to keep the attack a secret, but he has since decided to share his story in the hope that it will help prevent similar incidents from happening to others in the future. His resilience and determination to move forward are inspiring to all who know him.
