An anti-violence rally was held in response to the brutal attack over the weekend.HARTFORD, CT (WFSB) -
Students at Trinity College in Hartford are holding an anti-violence rally after a sophomore was attacked and brutally beaten over the weekend near the edge of campus.
The incident was reported early Sunday morning on Allen Place.
Officials said Chris Kenny had to undergo seven hours of reconstructive surgery after he was kicked in the face.
Thursday's rally is in response to how the school is handling an increase in violence in the area.
The university is also under fire from students for notifying Kenny's parents of the assault the next day.
"Yes that happened, it was bad communication," said Trinity College President James Jones.
