Carlos Vargas
"I was hit on the head. I received internal injuries. It was teenage boy who hit me. That Saturday I was playing basketball on the court and he was teasing me. I told him to respect me and so I left it at that, then it was seconds after that he came with an iron tube and hit me on the back of the head. I began bleeding a lot. I became dizzy, there was blood everywhere. He went back to his house, I was then taken to the hospital, but before I wanted to give a report to the Burrel Boom police but no one was there at the time. I then arrive at the hospital where the doctor looked at me, I could not talk for days because the injury was nearly fatal. I nearly went into surgery, I could have died. Last week a police officer came to get my report here at the hospital but since then nothing has happen. I understand that the boy who hit me is still free that no one has detained him. It bothers me because he could have killed me. If I had done it then I would be in trouble."
According to Vargas, his attending physicians tell him that he has several blood clots in his head that they are monitoring closely.
