According to the Facebook post, Mannino had facial lacerations, broken facial bones and bleeding on the brain. Some of the injuries were close enough to one of his eyes to cause concern about his vision.

Pedro Perez, a member of the Winston-Salem Pokemon Go group, said Mannino is still in a lot of pain and is heavily sedated. On Wednesday, he said Mannino had brain scans and they came back looking good. Eric Johnson, also an administrator of the Facebook group and Sloane Johnson’s husband, posted late Wednesday afternoon that Mannino will likely be moved out of the hospital’s intensive care unit within the next 48 hours.

Perez said Mannino is one of the group’s most active members. He walked about six miles a day, playing Pokemon Go, he said.

“He was always helpful,” Perez said. “He always posted the most up-to-date information. ... He’s a great guy, always smiling.”

A GoFundMe page has been set up to help pay for Mannino’s expenses while he is in the hospital.

A Pokemon Go event called “Trolling Lures for Vinnie” will be held at 10:30 p.m. Saturday to help Mannino.
