MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Memphis police say a large group of high school students swarmed a BP gas station and beat a man, according to CBS affiliate WREG.

Orrden Williams, Jr., the man seen in the surveillance footage being beaten, told the station that one of the kids "sucker punched" him. He had reportedly been helping an older woman to her car, after saying that she didn't feel safe when the crowd began coming into the parking lot.

"As we get to the car, they are in the parking lot -- throwing up gang signs and putting up a ruckus," Williams told WREG.

After he was punched in the head, he began to rush to his car to protect his baby, according to the station. He also says that he considered using his gun to protect his family.

Police say the baby was not hurt, but Williams' upper body was bruised, reports WREG. Meanwhile, other customers were inside the store and workers reportedly held the door shut as the teens rushed to the entrance.

Police also say the teenagers damaged Williams' car. It is still not clear what provoked the attack. Williams wants the teenagers involved cited and taken to juvenile court, according to the station.

Genesis 6:13 And God said unto Noah, "The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth."

Luke 17:26 Jesus said, "And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27 They did eat , they drank , they married wives , they were given in marriage , until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came , and destroyed them all."

Has anyone apologized to the youth involved? They might have hurt their hands.

The dark herd ... referring to the origins of their mindset, not their skin color. These kids are being taught hate and envy and deadly distain for law.

Yep, and nope.

It already is third world crazy. The media in the city dilutes every violent story down in order to not admit it.

That is the exact gas station I used to teach my boy about situational awareness. Our grocery store we use is right accross the street.

The city is rehbbing the old Sears distribution center building down the street a few blocks into high rise luxury apartments and office buildings using hundreds of millions of dollars. It's considered their "Cross-Town Jewel". That's not gonna ever work out with these animals loose.

The city used to have free admission days at the zoo so that the less fortunate could enjoy it. Then the gunfire started because Kennisha disrepected Latoyya, and Tyrone be wanting to beat someone down to watch em bleed a lot.

I’m from this hellhole. It’s already gone third world crazy. If that guy had had a gun, there would be a few less savages to deal with.

The attackers were brave young black men, a credit to their race.
