A man fixing up an Omaha home was attacked with a brick Wednesday afternoon, allegedly by a group of kids.

"All I know is it's just sick around here, it's just really sick, these kids here,” said Sam Montgomery. “I mean the guy's working on the house, he's trying to repair the house and they just outright just attack him."

An attack Montgomery can't believe he saw happen in broad daylight a few houses away from him at 42nd and Bedford at 1:45 p.m. "I saw four guys jump on the guy that was over there working on the house. He said they hit him in the head with a brick."

After calling police, Montgomery went to help the man he didn't know. "It looked pretty bad, he was bleeding all from his head and everything and I asked him what did they hit you with and he showed me it was a brick up there."

A brick that was possibly part of that home repair job. "Scary, just scary, I mean our hands are kind of tied, the parents hands are kind of tied and we don't know what to do, it's a scary thought," said Montgomery. "I worry about it, but what can you do?"

Police identified the beating and robbery victim as 42-year-old Fred Doran. He was taken to the hospital and is expected to survive.

Officers are questioning two people about the attack, but no word yet of any arrests. If you have any information about the assault, call police at 444-7867.
