Brooklyn College Student Critical After Attack

Reporting
Jay Dow
BROOKLYN (CBS) ― A Brooklyn college student was fighting for his life Tuesday after a brutal beating. The five suspects in the attack remained at large.

The pack of teenage boys were caught on camera taking a casual stroll through a neighborhood bodega minutes after the beating and robbing of 22-year-old architecture student Eduardo Sanchez.

The scene was scarred by a bloodstained section of sidewalk, some candles, and a posted photograph of the suspects.

"When we pulled up on the side the ambulance was here. And we asked them what happened, and they said a kid got beat up pretty bad," said neighbor Mary Ann Bradley-Francisco.

Francisco lives on the corner of Lexington and Grand Avenues in the Fort Greene section of Brookyn where the attack took place.

That is where, police said, the young suspects surrounded, attacked, and robbed Sanchez before heading to the bodega to use his ATM card

The motivation was robbery. His credit cards were taken from him, and the credit cards were subsequently used.

A source close to the investigation told CBS 2HD that detectives had already identified the suspects and that arrests were imminent.

The attack rattled the nerves of residents in this mainly residential neighborhood.

"Now I'm moving to another neighborhood because I don't feel safe here coming out at night," said Pratt student Jenni Hellstern.

Sanchez remained in a coma and listed in critical condition at Kings County Hospital Tuesday.
