A 32-year-old man is fighting for his life after being the victim of what appeared to be an unprovoked attack in downtown Baltimore in broad daylight on Friday.
Police said John Mason was walking near his home around Howard and Lombard streets when four men converged and started beating and kicking him. Mason was rushed to Shock Trauma with skull fractures. Surgeons noted footprints on his face, according to Mason's aunt, Christina Jasi.
Mason is currently in a medically induced coma.
"It's a life-or-death matter at this point. We don't know if he's going to survive. If he does survive, is he going to have the quality of life where he can live by himself again? Would he need us to take care of him? We don't know," Jasi said.
Police said that, so far, they believe the beating was unprovoked, but they are running down every possibility.
"We're going to look into the victim's background to see if there might have been a dispute in his past that could have led to something. But right now, there's just nothing evident for investigators," police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said.
He said they also expect crime cameras to flesh out vague descriptions of the attackers, who witnesses said were four black men
