His face had blood all over it," said a neighbor who didn't want to be identified.
She said she watched from her car as the man's wife and a neighbor both tried to help but were forced back inside."You could just see that he was not in good shape. He was in despair. His hand kept moving, and then it wouldn’t move again," she said. With the help of local beekeepers, the NRH Fire Department transported the man and woman to a local hospital.
