A disturbing video of a weekend mob assault in Detroit has police searching for suspects.
The video, shot on Saturday night in Detroit's Greektown neighborhood, shows dozens of individuals brutally attacking several others, one of whom appears gravely injured.
'At one point I thought he was dead, they had beat him so bad,' an artist named Eugene told Click On Detroit. 'I was thinking, "This is some savage stuff going on."'
Despite the dozens of witnesses seen standing by in the video, apparently none called police, who first learned of the brawl after the video was posted to Facebook.
The video was posted Sunday with only the comment 'This happened Downtown Detroit last night.'
It opens with one man apparently unconscious, lying on the sidewalk with his head hanging off the curb.
Several males are then seen ganging up on two other males on the street, which is outside a liquor store on a popular bar and restaurant strip.
The witness Eugene is a street artist who has worked on the corner since 1987, but says he's never seen anything like the Saturday brawl there. In the video, an easel and canvas can be seen on the sidewalk just feet from the fight.
'Luckily, I'm blessed that I didn't get caught up in it, but I feel sorry for the ones that did, because they really got dogged,' he said.
'It mentally scars you to see this,' he added.
An ambulance transported one man to the hospital following the brawl, but his condition is unknown.
