This is the shocking moment a 44-year-old father was beaten by a gang of youngsters on board a Dallas train after asking them to stop smoking marijuana.
Kennan Jones was attacked by the group on Sunday as they rode towards Deep Ellum in Dallas, Texas.
He had asked them to stop smoking marijuana on the Dallas Area Rapid Transit train.
The group included young men and women who punched him and threw him against the train's doors before arriving at the station.
Some of them pushed off the handle poles to kick Jones from the air.
One woman beat the victim in the head with a skateboard. She calmly walked away from him afterwards with the skateboard still in her hand.
A fellow passenger filmed the attack and shared the footage with DFW, CBS's local station in Texas.
In the video, at least one other passenger tries to intervene but it slapped away.
Jones was taken to hospital after the incident but has since been released. He had visible facial injuries when he spoke to the network.
When the young woman hit him in the head with the skateboard, he said he blacked out.
Police are investigating the incident and the footage.
The man said he was angry the train driver did not do more to stop the attack.
'To me, they saw enough to be, to stop that moment and say, "We’re not going nowhere until police coming,"’ he said.
DART spokesman Mark Ball apologized for the man's ordeal.
'I’m so sorry it happened to him and I apologize for that.
'For him to have stood up for DART and our policies and then to be hurt by that is a tragedy.'

Where are the transit cops?
I could have guessed it was Amish youts because of the lack of description on ethnicity on the story.
You know, you don’t even have to read beyond the headlines to know who the people are.
Obama has left quite a legacy.
Houston we have a problem...Or is it Dallas?
I’m starting to think the term “Youth” is code for the anti-technology Amish.
But......but.......pot makes you mellow.
Wait. Texas? Where you can have a gun to protect yourself?
Just watched the video, this was attempted murder.
In New York, it is “Yout”
Clearly, this guy did not have a CHL. Someone comes swinging at my head with a skateboard, they’re going down. It is instructive that he blacked out after getting hit on the head - a skateboard may sound innocuous or not too harmful, but once he was down, they could have done ANYTHING to him - that, to me, is a very really threat to one’s life.
Where is the GIGANTIC lawsuit from the injured guy?
I carry two very sharp knives that are legal even in my home state of maryland, for defense purposes only.
In this case I would have recommended the duck and weave as I was repelling the attackers.
Guess Kennan’s life didn’t matter.
This is why we need Paul Kersey. Although he might need a couple of extra clips these days.
It generally does
But not with negroes
Only thing mellows them is fear
A lesson lost since the 60s
Should be attempted murder charge then nail her with whatever will stick.
Gang of youths?
Oh you mean “teens”.
They have no respect for the law, because the law does not punish them.
