I’m sad to report that Benjy Ramírez, the elotero/street corn vendor whose story I first brought you after he was attacked last summer, was brutally assaulted and hospitalized over the weekend.pic.twitter.com/rnRbw0Aha1

I just got off the phone with Benjy, who’s back at home... very dizzy, especially when standing, but managed to explain what happened to me. It started Saturday night when Benjy says two latino men asked for raspados.

As soon as Benjy took money out to tender the change, the men brutally assaulted him. The last thing Benjy remembers is getting hit in the neck. He was knocked out cold. Firefighters came to his rescue and he had to be hospitalized overnight and into Sunday.

Benjy is back at home and resting. He told me that everything hurts. He’s trying to sleep and recover. He shared this photo with me that he just took from bed. The bandage is covering a huge gash on his head.pic.twitter.com/Du7dbZ2B3w
