Authorities in Philadelphia are searching for an attacker who they say brutally beat and mugged a retired Navy commander who was out walking his dog.

Harris suffered a brain injury, broken teeth, and severe swelling and bruising in the face. Doctors told Harris that he required at least 100 stitches, many of which inside his mouth.

Joseph Hurchick, Harris's partner, was home at the time of the brutal beating and said he believes the attacker was from the large party. His surveillance camera captured three women helping Harris and Nora home. "They brought him back, otherwise I don't know what would have happened," Hurchick said. "We were on the stoop and he was just bleeding, I was on the phone with 911, I didn't know where the blood was coming from, I didn't know if he was stabbed."

The pair said they have complained to police several times about large crowds from outside the neighborhood gathering at the park for late night parties. They claim their complaints have gone unaddressed. "This is what happens when something is not policed, it could have been worse," Hurchick said. "It's going to take a murder for this to stop."
