Willinghan went outside to grab something out of their car when the group attacked him. He suffered bruises on his back and other injuries. The most serious was a broken pelvis, which happened when the teens drove over him before taking off.
"It’s going to be a slow-going process. My husband can’t walk right now, and he’s got a big bruise on his back, slight internal bleeding," Willinghan’s wife said.
Neighbors call the attack senseless, and say they’re now on guard. "It’s crazy. 15 and 16 year olds are supposed to be in school on a Wednesday at 10:30 in the morning," neighbor Linda Knudsen said.
WJZ has learned that a Comcast worker recorded the entire incident and turned the video over to Sherlocks.

four teens in this case. "They’re violent offenders, even though they’re juveniles, and they needed to be caught and taken off the streets," said Jennifer Peach, with the Baltimore County Police Department.
Police say when they found the teen suspects, they found Willinghan’s stolen car, along with two other stolen cars.
Even with the arrests, the neighborhood where the carjacking occurred still remains on edge as police search for the other two suspects in the case. "Everybody is scared," Knudsen said.
Willinghan’s wife says he will be at Shock Trauma for 10 more days, before being moved to another facility to start the rehab. Three of the teens arrested in this case are being charged as adults, for attempted murder, assault, carjacking, and other charges.
