“This journey was the longest journey of my life the worst of my life” - More than a year after a Payson man was attacked with a sledgehammer, he is returning home from the hospital for the first time.
The initial incident happened in August 2020, when a 17-year-old teenager attacked Benajmin Partridge with a sledgehammer, before beating children at a Payson daycare.
“This journey was the longest journey of my life the worst of my life” Tony Greer, Partidge's husband said. “It was very hard for me to hold back a lot of tears and they still escaped anyway.” “It's the hometown feel and we care about one another,” said Payson Mayor Bill Wright. “We want to make sure that we support our residents.”
“Later on in the future that he will be able to walk once again,” Greer said."But it's going to be a long, long journey.”
