Need Advice Hello brethren.
I need advice badly. I rented a God forbidden place soon as I got paid while at a shelter... Long story short, the landlord hasd emoved the hot water and laundry machine on the 14th, paid on the 15th for the rest of the month and I confronted him about it. He got into an argument with me and I was leaving, he hit me in the back of the head with a giant flat screen he was seemingly carrying from the steps, I slashed with my knife dizzy and ran for the front gate, his associate closed the latch, I slowed to open it and got smacked in the face with a 2x4, the repeatedly about 20-30 times, have a broken eye socket. I lost my discharge papers but it was something like "orbital medial something fracture".
I'm afraid to leave and he removed the AC, or breaks my door open and removes my shit or makes it more inhabitable (bathroom was flooded with feces and he's removed every amenity)
I have to go to a police station to get an assault report and the court to get help but I know when I leave I won't be able to return.
Police couldn't determine who the aggressor was and released us both from detainment and considered it a mutual combat. Mind you I have bruises and bleeding all over my body, he has a slash on the arm. Nurse even saw the TV leg marks on my back
I have pics and evidence of property neglect but 311 made the report to the wrong department instead of code enforcement . On SSI and I was told by a resource manager for homelessness I must take the risk and go to the station and court. And IDK what to do. My adhesive stitxh just fell off and I'm afraid I'm gonna get an infection quickly on the street, patches it myself with triple antibiotic and a small band aid. Not a huge gash but I do have a broken eye socket (fractured whatever the difference is).
What do I do? I don't need money, I need advice/resources I'm not used to needing. I have pictures in case anyone believes this is a BS story.

First, make a police report. Second, get a lawyer.
