There are several newspaper accounts of this. Some claim he was
beaten. Some claim he may have been hit by a car.
Apparently there are no eye-witnesses, so nobody knows for sure.

But you know what is a little strange? The victim has been identified
as Brooks MacQuarrie. He works at New Haven Power Sports.
This happened last Friday, which would be the 19th.

He has a Facebook page which I found, thinking there might be more
information available as to what really happened.

Nope.

In fact, there are no references to it at all and MacQuarrie has updated
his page *since* the event .... during this week.

Doesn't really mean anything but I thought that for a guy who has so
many serious injuries that no mention of them have been made on his FB
page was a little unusual.



Hard to believe there are no witnesses, since that part of Goffe Street
has housing, small businesses, lots of pedestrian traffic. Even the
Shell station where I worked part time one semester after high school
was over for the day is still there, amazingly, though the building has
been redone into a convenience store. About two blocks away where it
turns into Broadway are the Yale Co Op and the site of where Cutler's
Record Store used to be. I'm sure you know the area.

---------------------------

I do. I used to shop at the Co Op for school clothes and Cutlers for
the records. I recall they had just about anything ever recorded an
produced.
Can't picture where this accident or beating took place, but I am sure
I'd remember if I visited. Somewhere in that area there was a YMCA I
think. It's where I took a certification course for scuba diving.




The Y is on Chapel and Howe Streets, about six blocks from where
Whalley, Goffe and Dixwell converge. The Y was in a completely different
sort of urban neighborhood, and very safe. I went to the Y with a buddy
almost every Saturday when we were in junior high. We took the bus to
get there and back. Swimming and pickup basketball games. Great place.

Cutlers was one of the top hangouts back in the day. Everyone knew the
Cutlers. The co-op sold, among many other clothing items, Gant button
down oxford shirts for $8.00 each. I bought 6 in blue and 1 in white
before leaving for college, plus what we called chinos, and penny loafers.
