PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A man is home recovering Tuesday after being jumped and viciously beaten while walking his dog Saturday night in Brewerytown. Just hours after arriving home from the hospital, the victim talks about the brutal attack.

Late last Saturday night, Navy veteran Scott Harris decided to walk his dog by the playground at 30th and Jefferson.

While he can't remember exactly what happened, just hours after he returned home from the hospital, the visible scarring on his face serves as reminders.
