ATLANTA — A man who survived a machete attack at his work is back home after nearly three months in Atlanta hospitals.
“The only thing that I really dread out of all of this is having to go to court,” Chris Sullens said.
Coming home takes him one step closer to that milestone.
“I wouldn’t want anybody to go through this,” Sullens said.
On June 20, he was at work at Advantage Homeless Day Center on North Ave. when according to police, a client of his, Cedric Smith, attacked Sullens with a machete.
The arrest warrant accuses Smith of hitting Sullens in the head with the machete five times.
It left Sullens on life support with a broken skull.
Doctors had to remove one of his eyes.
He was able to move from Grady Memorial Hospital to the Shepherd Center in Buckhead.
That facility specializes in traumatic brain injury treatment.
Now, he’s home.
He laughed when he said “It’s tiring. It’s just been go, go, go, go, go,” Sullens said.
He said one of his first stops was back where the attack happened.
