A Florida man was reportedly beaten to a pulp and put in a coma after he asked his neighbors to turn down their loud music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frank Penkava, 42, was placed in a medically induced coma at Memorial Regional Hospital with multiple fractures in his face after the brutal beatdown on June 14, NBC Miami reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of Tuesday July 27, he was still hospitalized as doctors wait for him to stabilize before they can operate on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cMy son has a little boy. He is going to be 4 years old \u2014 he is beautiful and he may never know his dad,\u201d Penkava\u2019s mother, Joan, told the news outlet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t know what damage has been done mentally, let alone all of the physical issues he has. It\u2019s very disheartening,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doctors are monitoring the man\u2019s brain activity to check on possible permanent brain damage, the station reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His sister, Gina Horvath, said he has several broken bones and also contracted an infection at the hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cHe continues to fight every day but he\u2019s very, very sick,\u201d she told NBC station WPLG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Horvath earlier told the NBC station that she believes her brother was attacked when he asked his neighbors to turn down the music. She said someone called 911 but they don\u2019t know who and have had difficulty getting answers from cops. The sister said she was only able to recognize Penkava by his tattoos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cThere is no reason for what they did to him. I understand that people get into altercations all the time and people\u2019s emotions are high, especially over the last year, but there was nothing to warrant what they did to him,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cHe went to work, did his job and paid his bills. He didn\u2019t bother anybody. So for anybody to do what they have done to him, I am seeking justice and I will not stop until I have justice for my brother,\u201d Horvath told NBC Miami<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
