Teenagers arrested after Iraq veteran was beaten

UPDATE FROM WTVR

Dutrow, who is now recovering at home in Leesburg, has 17 stitches in his forehead and an orbital fracture behind his eye, according to report from WTTG.

“I have an orbital fracture behind my eye,” Dutrow said. “It’s pretty much behind where these stitches are.”

His wife, Kasey, said that she always feared getting “the phone call,” while her husband served in Iraq. She never imaged she would get “the call” while they were on vacation.

“It’s just so vicious what they did. I just keep thinking of him lying in the street and somebody’s stomping and kicking his head. It seems to me they were trying to kill him,” Kasey Dutrow said. “I was driving to the hospital thinking I was going to be a widow. He was lying there with a breathing tube and a brace around his neck.”

LEESBURG, Va.

Police in Virginia Beach have arrested two juveniles and charged them in the savage beating of Iraq War veteran Sean Dutrow over the 4th of July weekend.

Dutrow is now recovering at home in Leesburg.

"I have an orbital fracture behind my eye," Dutrow told us from a park bench near his home Wednesday.

"It's pretty much behind where these stitches are."

He has 17 stitches in his forehead.

"I guess they just went straight for the head because the rest of me is fine,” he says.

Dutrow was on vacation with his wife Kasey, their 5-month-old daughter Sophie and some friends. He was attacked early Sunday morning leaving a beachside bar with a friend who had deployed to Iraq with him.

"He got ahead of me and it was about the time the bar was closing down," Sean says, "and when he turned around, I wasn't anywhere to be seen, so he came back and turned the corner and that's when he saw me on the ground and there were people all around me."
