BAYONNE — Dawid Strucinski, who was beaten into a coma after trying to break up a fight on Broadway in Bayonne last Maym was released from Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation in West Orange last month, and has been walking on his own and speaking, two things he apparently struggled with after waking up from the coma during the summer.
“He’s been up and around for about two weeks,” said Elizabeth Vosk, a friend of the family.
Strucinski became a victim of attack when he came across a fight in the early morning hours of May 8. The police arrested more than a dozen people connected with the fight, including the parent of one juvenile, who allegedly attempted to hide the fugitive.
Friends of Strucinski held several fundraisers to help defray the medical costs, and Vosk said there will likely be addition fundraisers in the future, since insurance will not cover all of the costs associated with Strucinski’s recovery.
