<p>A retired Navy officer needed 100 stitches for his injuries after he was brutally beaten and mugged while walking his dog in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/philadelphia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Philadelphia</a>.</p>
<p>Scott Harris was walking his dog Nora late Saturday night when he was attacked by a suspect who is still on the run. His wallet with credit cards and his ID were stolen during the attack in the Brewerytown neighborhood of the &#8220;City of Brotherly Love.&#8221;</p>
<p>The attacker beat him and left him with a brain injury, broken teeth, and severe swelling and bruising in the face.</p>
<p>Harris said there was a &#8220;large party&#8221; going on across the street from where he was walking, and &#8220;in hindsight&#8221; he thinks he probably should have walked nearby.</p>
<p>&#8220;Next thing I remember I&#8217;m in the ER because I kind of blacked out after that,&#8221; Harris <a href="https://www.fox29.com/news/former-naval-officer-gets-over-100-stitches-after-being-mugged-while-walking-dog-in-philadelphia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Fox 29.</p>
<p>&#8220;The surgeon said he stopped counting at 100 stitches,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Many of the stitches were placed inside his mouth.</p>
<p>&#8220;I did a year in a war zone in Iraq, did two years in Ukraine, and would not have expected this to happen in my own neighborhood,&#8221; Harris said.</p>

<p>Harris&#8217; partner Joseph Hurchick told the local outlet he believes the attacker was connected with the large party going on nearby.</p>
<p>Surveillance footage showed three women helping Harris get home after the attack.</p>
<p>&#8220;They brought him back, otherwise I don&#8217;t know what would have happened,&#8221; Hurchick <a href="https://www.fox29.com/news/former-naval-officer-gets-over-100-stitches-after-being-mugged-while-walking-dog-in-philadelphia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;We were on the stoop and he was just bleeding, I was on the phone with 911, I didn&#8217;t know where the blood was coming from, I didn&#8217;t know if he was stabbed.&#8221;</p>
<p>The two said they have previously complained to police about large crowds coming into the neighborhood and holding late night parties, but they say their complaints have not led to a change.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is what happens when something is not policed, it could have been worse,&#8221; Hurchick said. &#8220;It&#8217;s going to take a murder for this to stop.&#8221;</p>
<p>The two men <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/navy-vet-brutally-mugged-philadelphia-while-walking-dog-gets-100-stitches" target="_blank" rel="noopener">say</a> they have lived in the Brewerytown neighborhood for four years and used to think of the park across the street as a perk, but no longer.</p>
<p>&#8220;I want more of a police presence, or lock the park up at night,&#8221; Hurchick said. &#8220;Just patrol the neighborhood.&#8221;</p>
<p>Philadelphia has been battling a spike in retail and car thefts, although assaults and robberies are down this year. Murders are also down by a quarter this year to 264 murders so far this year in Philadelphia.</p>
<p>However, retail theft is up by a third to more than 11,700 thefts, and car thefts have spiked to double what they were last year with more than 16,600 car thefts, <a href="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1NnwLSzGtjKhtr3nF68fLMKEkyebylIbN" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to police data. Total property crime is up nearly a quarter to more than 52,600 incidents.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the drug and homeless crisis is raging in Philadelphia.</p>
<p>In some areas like the Kensington neighborhood, homeless drug users inject themselves in broad daylight. A new drug, Xylazine, an animal tranquilizer called “tranq” on the street, has also flooded Philadelphia&#8217;s drug market. The new drug has complicated the emergency response since it does not respond to Narcan.</p>
