A 33-year-old father of two 13-year-old boys and an 11-year-old girl took his kids to the Denver Skatepark<\/a><\/strong> on Wednesday night (April 14, 2010) and ended up getting beaten by a crowd of skateboarders, according to a story on CBS4Denver<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Police say more than two dozen skateboarders joined in the melee, striking the father with skateboards. The victim received a head injury, a fractured back vertebrae and a broken elbow.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Denver Post<\/a><\/em><\/strong> has more of the story of a man known only as Dave:<\/p>\n

After about 30 minutes Dave watched as a group chased an individual across the park. As a pursuer ran by, Dave asked: “What’s going on?” . . The man turned to Dave, cursed at him, and told him to leave. . . The words had just passed from the man’s mouth when Dave was slammed with a skateboard from behind, he said. . . “I guess just me asking was enough for them to clock me,” Dave said. . . Immediately, others joined in and started beating Dave with skateboards. A friend of Dave’s who was there tried to help him, and he also was attacked. . . The friend’s injuries were not as serious.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dave, who told The Post<\/em> he’s been “going to the skatepark for years” drove his kids home and then drove himself to Lutheran Medical Center where he was treated for his injuries.<\/p>\n

Place is rough. No doubt<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
