NORTH PHILADELPHIA - “You never want to get that phone call where’s he’s hurt, he was mugged,” Diane D’Agostino stated.D’Agostino will never forget the call she got Sunday morning, saying her 20-year-old son, Grant, had been attacked and robbed just off the Temple University campus.“I was very upset, not being able to be close to him, with COVID, not being able to go to the hospital,” D’Agostino remarked.Police say Grant, a transfer student at Temple, was riding his skateboard in the 1500 block of Jefferson Street and headed to breakfast.
That’s when a car passed him.Four young men got out, knocked him to the ground and beat him. They took his cell phone and fled right past a surveillance camera on that corner.“He has a shattered ankle.
