Hope your friend gets better... These things can go very wrong.
Growing up in Brooklyn I seen or been a part of many things like this.
Usually never ends well...

What I learned is leave it to the Cops and if you can run from the situation.

My Cousin who is like my Brother got Jumped outside of a Club years back. They broke his ribs and bruised him up real bad.

A month later my Cousin his Brother found ran into him at a Gas Station and beat him with a tire iron. He called the Cops and pressed charges.
His Brother had to do a couple years in Jail and my cousin got probation.

It wasn't worth that moment of gratitude.
