ANDREW "DRU" BARNES |
Barnes, a member of the alternative reggae band JOGYO, had reportedly just left his friend Gerrit Vooren’s Bedford-Stuyvesant home at 11 a.m. last Thursday and was heading to Fort Greene, when he got lost.
The attacker allegedly followed Barnes for a block before striking. On a Facebook page dedicated to Barnes, Vooren wrote that “Dru yelled out, the man ran, and the ambulance and police appeared quickly and took him to Kings County Medical Center.
Though Dru is expected to survive, he may suffer permanent vision loss.
“Dru is going to loose his left eye. The damage was too severe to repair it. Too many parts of his eye were severed.” Vooren wrote.
But there may be evidence that could lead to the attacker, according to Vooren.
“He just came out of nowhere and ran. He did leave the hammer behind, so we hope there’s fingerprints/DNA on it.” Anybody with possible information on the attack can contact authorities at Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
