ROCHESTER - The man who was jumped and viciously beaten by two Rochester men in a Lafayette Street driveway earlier this month is slowly recovering, while a third man wanted in connection with the incident remains at large.
The victim, a Newmarket, N.H., man, suffered lacerations to the face as well as serious internal injuries, Rochester Police Capt. Jason Thomas said on Tuesday.
Police responded to 48 Lafayette St. on Jan. 8 for reports of an assault and found the victim laying unconscious on the driveway.
After a weeklong investigation Chris Greenwood and Brett Tibbetts, both 20, were arrested on Sunday and charged with riot in the attack. Both are currently being held at Strafford County Jail.
