VALLEY STREAM, N.Y. (AP) -- A 30-year-old man is in critical but stable condition with a fractured eye socket and a concussion after being attacked by a group of 12 to 15 people on Long Island.
Nassau County police say the attackers were described as teenagers between the ages of 15 and 17.
The victim told police the group repeatedly kicked and punched him in the head, face and chest. The group dispersed when the victim's mother came out of the house claiming to have called police. Detectives did not have a motive for the attack.
The Valley Stream resident didn't get medical help until hours after the incident, which occurred early Sunday. He was admitted to a nearby hospital on Sunday afternoon.
Police say the man may have initially underestimated the severity of his injuries.
