A 17-year-old boy has been charged as an adult for his role in beating a 61-year-old alongside a group of approximately 50 other teens in Baltimore, Maryland, on April 22.
Richard Fletcher was brutally beaten by the teens after he went outside to ask two girls who were fighting on top of his truck to move along and continue their dispute elsewhere.
The mob of teens began to hit and kick Fletcher until he fell to the ground, but the attack didn't end.
After the beating last month, Fletcher was left with broken eye sockets, a broken nose, broken ribs and a brain bleed, according to CBS Baltimore.
He also needed a blood transfusion.
Police have made two arrests in the case and are hoping to bring all of the teens, who are believed to be students at Baltimore Community High School, that participated in the beating to justice.
Antoine Lawson has already been charged with attempted murder and a 15-year-old girl was charged with assault.
Joe Lamb, who owns a business nearby, saw the attack and said he wasn't all that surprised with what happened based on how the neighborhood has been, WBAL reported.
Antoine Lawson was charged with attempted murder
He said: 'It has gotten out of hand now, gone too far.
'The kids walk on top of cars, kick dogs, let dogs out, throw trash, steal milk from school and throw it at houses, threaten neighbors with bodily harm.'
Fletcher is out of the hospital and the Harbor View Neighborhood Association has opened a GoFundMe account to raise money for his medical bills.
The association wrote: 'Rick was brutally attacked by approximately 49 students from a near-by school on April 22.
'We are working closely with the family to assist them during this difficult time.
'We estimate his medical bills will be between $200,000-$400,000.
'His medical insurance will not pay for all of the bills.
'At this time, he is out of the hospital but he will need several additional surgeries. Rick has a long road to recovery.
'We do not expect the perpetrators will help him or his family pay for any of the medical expenses.
'Please donate to this very worthy cause , as Rick did not deserve this.'
The campaign has raised more than $8,000

The arrests come in connection with an April 22 incident in which Rick Fletcher was assaulted in front of his 45th Street home.
Antoine Willie Lawson, 17, was indicted last week on charges of attempted first-degree murder, first-degree assault, robbery and theft of less than $1,000.
On Tuesday, county police announced the arrests of four other teenagers charged as adults, and an arrest warrant has been obtained for a 20-year-old man.
Andrew Omar Allen, 15, has been charged with attempted first-degree murder, robbery and related charges. He is being held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center.
Yahkeem Zavion Wheatley, 15, has been charged with attempted first-degree murder, robbery and related charges. He is being held on $200,000 bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center.
Mya Lashae Stewart, 15, was originally charged as a juvenile on April 24. On May 4, she was indicted by a Baltimore County Grand Jury. She is now charged as an adult with attempted first-degree murder, robbery and related charges. Her current custody status is unknown.
Samtoya Isiah Wiliams, 17, has been charged with first-degree assault, second degree assault and robbery. He is being held at the Baltimore County Detention Center on $1 million bail.
Detectives have obtained an arrest warrant for Keenan Tylike Holloway, 20, in connection with this incident. He is currently in custody in Baltimore City on unrelated charges.
Detectives also arrested a seventh suspect Tuesday morning. His information will be released after he has a bail hearing.
No more arrests are expected.
Friends of Fletcher said the 61-year-old is now disabled, and it will be some time before he fully recovers. The violent attack left Fletcher with two broken eye sockets, broken ribs, a broken nose and bleeding on his brain. He was beaten so badly that he was placed in a medically induced coma.
On the day of the attack, Fletcher noticed two girls fighting outside on his truck, which he tried to break up. Then, a large group of teens swarmed around and attacked him, which was caught on surveillance video.
Friends have distributed fliers that read, "Please help our neighbor." They have established a GoFundMe account to help pay for Fletcher’s mounting medical bills.

Posts NBC affiliate story to prove outlets like NBC are ignoring story.
Go ahead and find me some more mainstream articles.
If this was 50 white kids beating a black man to a pulp it'd have been 24/7 coverage the last month. It's amusing watching people claim there is no bias.
If it was 50 white kids beating a black man to a pulp they would have gotten probation instead of being charged as adults.
Thank you for proving my point.
Got any examples to back this?

They'll be put away for a long time. Their lives are over. Justice is served, unless you measure justice by media attention.
Pretty clear I was being hyperbolic, like you were.
My point is, justice plays out in the courts, not in the media. And white kids typically get a lot more leniency from the courts, the cops, and the entire system than black kids.
My point is pretty clear.
Yes, it is. And my counterpoint is that the justice system compensates (and arguably overcompensates) for any media coverage discrepancies.
Kids will be kids
check your pm's.
Did he botox his lips like the Hollywood actresses?
Maybe, but you really haven't done anything to back it up.
Put Velcro in the ceiling. No...lick their lips and stick 'em to the windows.
You did that for me. You saw the Google results. You know I'm right.
No, you made a clear, positive claim.
Back it up.
Rumphumper begging for someone to do his work again.
I don't have to prove something someone else claimed, Chachi.
You really don't know how this works, do you?
Now, you're going to whine about me some more and go off topic.
thats some nice sucking lips for his cellmate
