The attack left 35-year-old Mario Barros with a broken jaw and chin, and with bruises all over his body, including his head and ear.
The other victim, 68-year-old Carlos Cardoso, remains at the hospital with internal head bleeding, according to his daughter, Stephanie, who also said he suffered a stroke from the attack and is unable to feel the right side of his body and remains non-verbal.
"The fact that he's just in the hospital, not able to do anything, just hurts me to see him like that," she said.

The police complaint states that Cardoso and Barros were driving on Walnut Street at 8:30 p.m. when another car coming from the opposite direction tried squeezing through the narrow street, knocking a parked car's side mirror. An argument between both parties ensued before they all left the scene.
But then Cardoso returned to retrieve his glasses, which were allegedly knocked off from his face. At the same time, the other party had also returned with more people, according to court filings, and that's when the assault took place.
"It's hard for anybody to watch, but the fact that he's my dad and I watched him lying there helplessly, it hurts," said Stephanie.
She said some of the assailants were identified after the video was shared on social media, but not everyone has been recognized yet.
"I hope they can realize what they did wrong, and they come forward themselves," she said.
Gallagher-Lee faces assault and battery charges, including assault and battery on an elderly or disabled person and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. He pleaded not guilty during an arraignment Monday at Brockton District Court. He will remain in jail until his dangerousness hearing set for Friday.
The two other suspects, who have not been named, were charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
Police are asking anyone with information on this case to contact them.
