   Detroit: Witness recounts beating of 34-

   Broken glass and other remnants from the vehicles involved in   
   the weekend crash litter the ground at the intersection of   
   Vernor and Chalmers on Detroit’s east side.   
      
   Still fresh in the minds of residents is the assault of 34-year   
   old Nathanial Szczerbinski by at least two of the men who were   
   occupants of a van that collided with the Grosse Pointe Park   
   man’s car.   
      
   Myron Dean, who lives just down from the intersection, told 7   
   Action News he heard the crash and rushed out of his house to   
   witness what happened next.   
      
   “The man jumped out like, ‘I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry for   
   hitting you all,’” Dean said, referring to Szczerbinski’s   
   reaction after the accident.   
      
   Szczerbinski had been heading west -- driving the wrong way on   
   Vernor, which is a one-way street.  He was attempting to turn   
   his vehicle around when the collision occurred.   
      
   The assault began when Szczerbinski went to check on the   
   condition of those in the van—which included a number of   
   children.  No one was injured but the driver of the vehicle   
   punched Szczerbinski, according to Dean and another passenger in   
   the van quickly joined the attack. Szczerbinski told police   
   three men were took part in the attack.  He did not fight back.   
      
   “They beat him unconscious in the field over there, just   
   pounding him, pounding him, punching him, punching him,” Dean   
   said. “I understand that he caused the accident coming up the   
   one way but when he got out of the car, he was apologizing,”   
   said Dean.   
      
   This assault follows by a few months the brutal beating of Steve   
   Utash—who was attacked by an angry mob after he accidentally hit   
   a young boy with his truck on the east side of Detroit.   
      
   According to Dean there were numerous witnesses to the assault   
   of Szczerbinski but no one tried to stop it.   
      
   "You can’t put yourself in the predicament to help somebody else   
   when you live over here and you have kids of your own, you get   
   what I’m saying,” Dean asked. "You don’t know what people are   
   capable of doing.”   
      
   Detroit Police spokesman Adam Madera said a 20-year old male is   
   in custody on assault charges. Two other men, suspected of   
   involvement in the attack, are being sought. The investigation   
   is continuing.
