EGG HARBOR CITY, N.J. (WPVI) -- A South Jersey man says he and his teenage cousin were assaulted Wednesday night over a bag of candy while they were trick-or-treating.
Daniel Peterson's face shows the result of the Halloween attack in Egg Harbor City, Atlantic County. He suffered a broken jaw and needed 28 stitches
"I probably got hit in the face 20 times within two seconds," said Peterson.
Peterson says they were approached by a group of teens just a couple of blocks away from their home. Peterson and his cousin Ethan Drey tried to ignore the jeers, but it quickly got violent.
Drey, who has autism, said the attackers were armed with knives, bats, glass bottles, and metal poles.
Peterson recalled the group saying, 'Hit him, hit him, take his candy, get the white boy's candy.'
Drey said the attack was fast. He was knocked unconscious, while Peterson bore the brunt of the beating.
"I thought they killed him. It was so gruesome that if you had been there, you would have thought he would have been dead," said Drey.
The attack itself happened on Arago Street, a dark, side-street near Philadelphia Avenue.
