The pleadings in the case reveal the following background facts. In the early evening hours on November 26,1983, Navarette stopped at a convenience store at 321 Main Street near the Marina Apartments housing project. Navarette encountered a group of youths and one youth forcibly grabbed Navarette’s wallet and fled into the project. Two other youths lured Navarette inside the project on the pretext that they would help him recover the wallet. The youths then pulled Navarette under a dark stairwell inside a building in the project and physically beat him with their fists, feet, bottles *163and blunt instruments just “short of death.” Navarette was admitted to Park City Hospital in a “brain dead” condition. As a result of the attack, Navarette, who currently resides at New Britain Memorial Hospital, is catastrophically brain injured and will require permanent skilled and custodial institutional care for the remainder of his life.
