Group of individuals physically attack cyclist, identified as a man with autism, in park, alleges his family.
In a shocking incident, a 44-year-old man named Scott Lindsey was assaulted in Hessville Park, Hammond, Indiana, on August 15. Lindsey, who works at a local grocery store and has been employed there for 14 years, was riding his bike home from work when he was verbally taunted and then physically attacked by a group of people.
The assault took place at a water fountain in the park. Scott Lindsey was initially surrounded by the group before the attack. A witness saw the ordeal and called 911. After a period of time, other individuals joined in on the attack, and no one intervened on Lindsey's behalf.
Lindsey was found bloodied by officers at the park after the attack. The assault has left him wanting to put the ordeal behind him as he currently recovers from the assault. Unfortunately, the attack resulted in Scott Lindsey losing a majority of his front teeth. His family mentioned that he will need costly and extensive dental work to repair the damage.
Brian Beatty, Lindsey's stepfather, finds it disturbing that someone involved in the attack recorded it and posted it on social media. Authorities have made progress in the case, as one of the attackers involved in the August 15 assault on Scott Lindsey in Hessville Park has been charged. However, the specific identity of the arrested individual is not disclosed in the available information.
Lindsey initially did not want to tell anyone about the assault but eventually did. He has decided not to cut through the same park again. The community is shocked by the incident, and calls for increased safety measures in the park have been made. The Hammond Police Department is actively investigating the case and encourages anyone with information to come forward.
