The victim, a 31-year-old resident of Pompano Beach, was attacked in early August 2021 and “has been permanently blinded and sustained other serious injuries as a result of the incident," according to police.
A forbidden relationship led to the attack of a Pompano Beach gay man that was so savage it left him blinded, according to court documents released this week.
Authorities say that the victim, a 31-year-old man resident of Pompano Beach, Fla., was attacked in early August 2021. He was "permanently blinded and sustained other serious injuries as a result of the incident.”
The victim was left for dead, unconscious in a pool of blood. It took him 6 months to get his memory back about what happened, but his sight won't return.
He was beaten “utterly close to death” at his Pompano Beach apartment in August, left lying covered in blood on his floor for half a day. The victim, a 31-year-old gay man, said his relationship with a 21-year-old man is what prompted the attack, records say.
