New Jersey soldier home for holidays beaten by men who allegedly didn’t like his Army jacket
[NYDAILYNEWS] A New Jersey soldier set to deploy to the Middle East in just a few months was met with violence when he traveled home to visit his widowed mother for the holidays.U.S. Army Serviceman Austin Freni was reportedly attacked and brutally beaten by a group of young men while he was walking with his mother, Lori Freni, after the Mummers Parade in Philadelphia on New Year’s Day, NJ.com reported. The attack was prompted, Lori Freni said, by the fact that her son was wearing his Army jacket, according to Fox 23. She said a group of 10 to 15 men walked by them making "derogatory comments" about the jacket, and then one of them took a swing at her 19-year-old son. Immediately after, the rest of the group piled on top of Austin, she said. Posted by: Fred 2017-01-06 |
