MAN ATTACKED BY GANG OF TEENS IN ‘BOREDOM BEATING’ DIES A YEAR LATER

A 46-year-old Ohio man who was viciously attacked by a teen mob last year in what police called a “boredom beating” has died. It’s not yet clear if he died as a result of his injuries, but police are awaiting a report from the coroner’s office.

Pat Mahaney, of Cincinnati, died Friday a year after suffering massive internal bleeding and a four-day hospital stay.

Last August, Mahaney was walking home after buying s six pack of beer when the group of six teens jumped him from behind, beating him to the ground with the beer he had just purchased.

“He was a good boy. He was taking care of his mother,” neighbor Marty Korte told WCPO-TV. He also said Mahaney was so affected by the incident he “was afraid to walk down the street.” In fact, he said he had only seen Korte once since the attack.

The teens admitted to the assault last year, saying Mahaney had done nothing to provoke it. Instead, they were bored and looking for something to do.
