Man discharged from hospital after brutal paving-stone attack on Rotterdam street
Benjamin, the 37-year-old man who was critically injured after another man threw a paving stone on his head as he lay sleeping on the street in Rotterdam, has been discharged from the hospital. “He is still confused and is resting now,” his sister, Amy, confirmed to Rijnmond. “He is slowly recovering.”
Benjamin was sleeping outside near the Maritime Museum three weeks ago when a man threw a paving stone onto his head, leaving him critically injured. He was in a coma for more than a week and had to undergo surgery on his face.
The man has a long road to recovery ahead of him, but he was already cracking jokes in the hospital, Amy told the regional broadcaster. He is currently still receiving 24-hour care.
A 32-year-old man from Cameroon was arrested in the French city of Toulon two weeks ago. He is suspected of beating a homeless Moldovan man to death with a heavy stone in Lyon and of several attempted murders of a similar nature in Rotterdam, Évry, Strasbourg, and Dijon.
