A 31-year-old, who was injured during an assault, was flown to the Lahey Clinic in Massachusetts after he was still unresponsive two weeks after the altercation.

They went outside where an argument progressed into a physical altercation.

The victim went back into his neighbour?s house complaining of a headache and showed his neighbour a bruise he received to his upper arm.
