GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WZZM) -- The Grand Rapids Police Department
wants to hear from anyone who can identify some assault suspects seen in
cell phone video.

View Quote




Police say the group of people seen in the
video were punching and kicking a man who had been walking by them.
Investigators say it happened around 10:15 p.m. July 28 near Monroe Ave.
and Louis St. NW, near Rosa Parks Circle.  You can see the video above
and it does contain some harsh language.



Sgt. Terry Dixon says,
"If you watch the video from beginning to end, you can hear them
laughing and you can hear different voices in the video".  Dixon says
they do not yet have a motive in the attack.

They appear to be a rather homogenous group.

That's a pretty crazy area for that to happen. Lot's of foot traffic, only a couple of blocks from the police department. Now, about a half mile south, that's where things get fun.

What did they look like?  
"Teens"
...but could you be more descriptive? Any definining characteristics?
"Like... Youths."
Ehem... Sir if we could just get some information on their physical appearance it would go a long way towards...
"I'm pretty sure they were young teens, you know, like, urban youths and teens and stuff."
...Okay sir, but were they white? African American, Hispa...
"Look man I don't see color. I just saw teens."

More like they don't want to report that the attack was racially motivated.

I was raised in a small town not far from GR in the early 60s.  It used to move me to tears to see what has become of that area.  Now, I'm still very sad, but the tears are all used up.

downtown GR has really come a long way in the last 10 years, they even have "ambassadors" who are paid to walk the streets and offer assistance and move the bums along..  until 0200, downtown is a rather safe place to be now, lots of people and lots of stuff to do, lots of police presence..

that said, you hang out at the bars after 0200 and nothing good is going to happen in any town...

My sister works security at local hotel. Been happening every Tuesday. Same group. Same race attacked.  Big police increase but unable to catch them.

I live in downtown GR, I personally don't think its a bad area at all.
Even walking around at night I don't feel unsafe.  (the Glock on my side doesn't hurt in that regard either though)

Walker here.

Lived downtown for a couple years.  Never had issues, night or otherwise.  That said whenever I'm in a city I'm more vigilant.
