Police in Washington, D.C., released surveillance footage Monday of several people wrestling a victim to the ground at a gas station and robbing him.
The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) released the video of the incident, which took place at around 11:12 p.m. on July 24, in hopes of identifying the suspects.
WATCH:
Two suspects initially dragged the victim to the ground and began rifling through his pockets, while two others joined in robbing him as he lay on the ground, video shows. A fifth suspect watched the incident on his bike.
Several of the suspects hit and kicked the victim multiple times as he lay on the ground, video shows. The suspects continued to strike the victim, who appeared to be unconscious, well after they had completed the robbery. (RELATED: Shooting Happens Outside Of The Nationals/Padres Game)
