South Florida doctor recalls moment he was attacked by patient’s son

A South Florida doctor has serious injuries after he says he was attacked outside his office, and investigators say the man who attacked him is the son of one of his patients.

Dr. Steven Silvers is an OBGYN at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach. He says he was going to his office Monday morning and had a brief conversation with 19-year-old Ventura Perez.

From his hospital bed, Silvers shared what happened next in court Tuesday.

“I turned to walk away and he jumped me from the back and beat me,” Silvers said.

Silvers says he has several facial fractures, a swollen right eye, a bruise in his brain and a couple broken ribs.
