17h agoA baseball coach in Bedford Park joined News 12 for an exclusive interview remembering the scary moments he was assaulted on Harris Field.
The coach, who did not want to share his identity or show his face on camera, says he spent over 12 hours in the hospital on July 4 after he was stabbed moments after a practice. Coaches who were present for the incident tell News 12 that earlier in the day a fight broke out between two of the kids.
The coach says that about an hour and a half after the fight between those two kids, a lot of men assaulted him using brass knuckles, chains and other weapons.
The coach says doctors told him that he was stabbed close to his spine - an injury that is impacting his livelihood.
“I was attacked by more than 10 men,” said the coach. “I haven’t been able to keep helping the kids, because I haven’t been able to recuperate after what happened because I lost a lot of blood."
