WATCH: Notable Athens resident that paints with no arms attacked while painting, sent to emergency room
As if attacking an unsuspecting man from behind wasn’t bad enough, 52-year-old Michael Davenport hasn’t had any arms to defend himself since the age of 13. That didn’t stop someone from assaulting him in broad daylight recently in downtown Athens.
The unfortunate scene was captured on video and obtained by FOX 5 of Atlanta. The disturbing video can be found below.
Following the incident, Davenport was taken to the emergency room.
“I woke up in the emergency room… I just broke down. Why? I want to know why the guy did something like that,” Davenport said according to FOX 5 of Atlanta.
Athens-Clarke County Police have arrested and charged 29-year-old Darian Kenney with aggravated assault following an investigation into the incident. Police have yet to discover any motivation for the assault on the unsuspecting artist.

This is disgusting. Does he feel like more of a man for blind siding a guy without any arms?? wtf is wrong with people
I hope someone kills this S.O.B before he is picked up by the police. People like him can literally rot in a shallow grave.
You have to be a really sick and evil person to do something like this…
What is this world coming to?
I’ve seen this guy painting on Athens street corners on football Saturdays. He does great work. The person who attacked him is scum and should stay in jail for some years. Get well soon DAWG!
