Video @ link.
A tourist was savagely beaten, stomped and spit on by a gang of over a dozen youths at the entrance to the Washington Hilton Hotel around 1 a.m. on July 14, according to Washington, D.C. police who released hotel surveillance video showing the brutal unprovoked attack. The Hilton–located about twelve blocks north of the White House at 1919 Connecticut Avenue and T Street, NW–is a key part of official Washington, playing host to presidents, foreign dignitaries, business and political gatherings including the annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. It is also where President Ronald Reagan was shot by a would-be assassin in 1981.
In the video, the male victim is seen walking with another man toward the lower T Street entrance of the hotel, just feet from where Reagan was shot while walking out from the hotel after giving a speech there. A group of young males and females appear to have laid a trap for the two men, coming at them from the front and rear as they approach the hotel entrance. The victim is punched by a tall slender man who comes at him from the front, setting off a mob attack that quickly puts the victim on the ground while his friend ducks into the hotel. More attackers approach and take turns punching and kicking the man, with some stomping on the his head. The friend comes back out and intervenes but is punched in the face and retreats. The final attacker walks up and spits on the man as he is sprawled limp on the ground.
The man suffered head injuries and a left eye socket injury. The witness suffered a swollen left eye. They were treated at a local hospital.”
D.C.’s Metropolitan Police appealed for the public’s help on Wednesday in identifying the attackers.
“MPD seeks the public’s assistance in identifying suspects in reference to an Aggravated Assault offense that occurred on 7/14/19 in the 1900 blk of Connecticut Avenue, NW. See video here: (link: https://youtu.be/Lt98V_KyQg4) youtu.be/Lt98V_KyQg4 Have info? Call (202) 727-9099/text 50411”
What would Jucee Fruit do?

Once again we are left wondering if they were ‘gentlemen’...
I am amused at how some smug bugger thinks he or she is doing us all on FR a ‘service’ by posting complaints about multiple postings of this article...in the keywords section, using the most useless key words imaginable. Who is ever going to need to look up a huge list of random topic articles that such keywords would bring up? Talk about abusing the website...
Variants of the video are available on the national geographic and discovery channels.
I agree.

interesting how none of the stories mention the race of victim or attacker. i guess that’s verbotten under PC requirements.
“Youths” when the attack is too savage to be covered by the usual euphemism “teens”. I guess they were 11 and 12 year olds. After all “teens” 14 - 19 can get as big as adults.
Stomping on someone’s head should be treated as attempted murder.
Seriously, trying to crush someone’s head most certainly is an act that aims to kill.
Stomping on someone’s head is lethal force.
Males.
Females.
Tall slender man.
Great description for a BOLO.
Males.
Females.
Tall slender man.
What more does anyone need?
Unfortunately, it’s a black and white video, so we’ll never know for sure.
There is a slightly different technique that will immediately kill the person. I will refrain from potentially teaching anyone.
The thing I don’t understand is why anyone would go into DC as a tourist anyway (unless of course they were heavily armed.)
That place is a hell hole.
More like a herd of low-life animals
Some day we’ll see that, when one of the attacked pulls out a concealed carry and smokes 5 to 8 of these “youths”.
