Iraq War veteran Peter Damon is speaking out against a violent beating that left his boyhood friend fighting for his life at a Boston hospital.
Damon, who lost his right arm and left hand serving in Iraq in 2003, said Brian Bishop, 41, did not deserve the severe injuries he sustained when two men beat Bishop outside an Ames Street barroom on Friday night. The attack was captured on surveillance video.
“Whatever Brian was doing, he didn’t deserve to get the beating he did,” Damon, 39, a Brockton native and married father of two who now lives in Middleboro, said Tuesday.
Kent Johnson, 44, of Brockton, is being held on $750,000 cash bail following the beating in the parking lot of The Lit about 7:20 p.m. Friday.
Assistant District Attorney Russ Eonas declined comment on any other suspects Tuesday, but said the investigation is ongoing. One witness told authorities the altercation stemmed from Bishop sitting on a sports car, court records show.
