Greetings,

I was assisting a gentleman who had the illness, earlier this year. I had no knowledge of the disease nor the health condition of the gentleman I was trying to help.

 

His family is in Florida, requested my assistance based on his request. His MD brother had visited him few days prior to his second attack on me at my home.

 

I have not seen this gentleman and his family refuse to talk with me. I didn't call the police to report the incidents thinking his family will help plus the continuous threats he made. 

It has peen almost 4 months since I've seen him. I have a broken finger and property damages. What should I expect to happen and what should I do?

You need to call the police if he comes around you. Tell the police you feel threatned by this man and are fearful. Stop all contact with him and his family. The man needs help and obiviously his family isn't providing. If you call the police this man may get into treatment, therefore you will help him. If he attacked you twicwe and is untreated he's dangerous. Protect yourself and call the police. They will be your best help. I wish you well.
