Good news. He had been beaten so severely, it wasn’t at all clear that he would recover, but he seems to be doing much better.
Via Daily Mail:
The 54-year-old grandfather who was severely beaten by a Detroit mob when he stopped to help a young boy has finally left hospital six weeks after the attack.
A simple message simply stating ‘Steve Utash is home’ was posted online on Saturday, as his family announced that he had left a rehabilitation center.
The 54-year-old had been left with serious head injuries after a gang of men attacked him after he stopped to help a 10-year-old he had accidentally hit with his pick up truck.
The tree trimmer had been in hospital since April 2, and more recently was moved to the DMC Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan.
‘He is home and doing very well. It is wonderful to have him back,’ Mr Utash’s family told the Detroit Free Press.
Mr Utash was punched and kicked by a group of men, and his injuries were so serious that at first doctors had put him in a medically induced coma and told his family he could suffer lasting brain damage.
