Just yesterday, ColdTrackDays correspondent Brendan Lester was mugged near his home in downtown Chicago. Brendan was exiting a metro train when he was attacked, struck with a pipe and stripped of not only his photographic equipment, but his portfolio as well. Police have since captured the assailant and Brendan was able to positively identify him in a lineup. Brendan is okay, however he suffered wounds worthy of seven staples across the backside of his head.
The ColdTrackDays staff would like to extend their support to Brendan Lester and urge all of our readers to do the same. You can visit Brendan's photostream, here, and can see all of his work for CTD by clicking here. We wish him the best in his recovery and are working on ways to help him acquire new equipment... // [comment]
