50 Men Launch Brutal Assaults on Detroit residents in Greektown, Streets Look Like A Warzone

The caption says simply: “This happened in Downtown Detroit last night.”



And then starts a video that shows about 25-40 men punching, kicking and brutally beating people on the streets of Greektown, one of Detroit’s most popular hotspots. In the video, one man is lying with his head over the curb appearing unconscious and very badly injured. He gets punched and kicked as the cell-phone filming crowd of young men shouts and laughs.



Quickly becoming known as the Greektown brawl — the Saturday night fight was caught on video that was posted to Facebook.



By the time the police in Detroit were alerted to what was happening it was already over, they said. “All those people were out there with their cellphones, and instead of calling the police, they video it for Facebook,” Chief James Craig told the Detroit News. “This is extremely disturbing.”



Investigators have identified the victim in the street, who is now at an area hospital. They’re working to identify the suspects from the video.
