    Amusement park was liable to plaintiff for injuries he sustained after gang members viciously attacked him at a bus stop outside the park, even though plaintiff suffered his injuries beyond park's premises and approaches, but the Court of Appeals erred in ruling that the case had to be retried in its entirety due to an apportionment error, because liability and the calculation of damages sustained were distinct from the apportionment of fault and the apportionment error required retrial only for the apportionment of damages.
