I was assaulted last night at across from the Baseball Stadium

Heads-up:

I was walking home to Pastita around 2:00am last night. As I made a left onto Calle Pastita from Calle Puertecito, I was rushed by two twenty-something year-olds. One grabbed my neck collar and the other slammed an empty 40oz. beer bottle against my head.

Luckily, I able to absorb the blow of the beer bottle, keep my balance and shrug off the first attacker. I then began yelling and as I stepped back toward Calle Puertecito, my attackers retreated.

I then made my way back towards Sange de Cristo where I has last seen two police officers were detaining a drunk.

They examined my head (some blood but just minor scratches) but they were more concerned with the stupid drunk than helping me get home safely. The drunk was taken away in a truck and the remaining officer disappeared twice after promising that he would help.

I waited almost an hour but then spotted a friend walking home to Pastita and I escorted her past my house and doubled back--only to see another group of drinkers (which had doubled in size on my way back) at the entrance of an adjacent callejon.

The group ended up not bothering me, and I finally made my way back home at 3:30am.

Conclusion:

Even the main streets in Pastita aren't safe. The police are absolutely worthless here. Don't walk around past midnight on Saturday nights without a sizable group.
