A young man is recovering after he was brutally beaten near Barton Springs Pool. The attack happened the weekend before the eclipse, and the suspect is still at large.
A random attack at Barton Springs Pool was the last thing 24-year-old Eliseo Robles, of Dallas, was expecting while visiting Austin with some friends earlier this month. They were in town for a concert by the rock band Vampire Weekend, which was performing during the solar eclipse.On Saturday, April 6, Robles was walking around Zilker Park. Around 6 p.m., he sat down on the stone steps near the pool entrance.
He also had surgery for a broken orbital bone under his eye. He says he could finally start breathing through his nose a week later after doctors removed casts from his nostrils."I only have to wear this splint for another two weeks," said Robles. "But I won't be 100% until around a year's time."Needless to say, Robles never made it to that concert, and he remains shaken by what happened."It’s just shocking," said Robles.
