Amputee Gets Beaten With His Own Prosthetic Leg
Following Beating, Assailants Drive Over Crippled Man
(AP) BUFFALO, N.Y. An amputee was jumped early Saturday by a group of men who took his prosthetic leg and then beat him with it.
The four assailants then drove over Richard Kelly, 43, while he was lying on the ground, police said.
He suffered several broken ribs, skin abrasions and a punctured lung during the 2 a.m. attack. Kelly was treated at Erie County Medical Center, where he was in stable condition late Saturday.
"Through the grace of God, I'm doing OK," Kelly said.
Police said they have no immediate suspects or motives.
Kelly lost his right leg from the knee down in a serious automobile accident about eight years ago.
