o the voters of Minneapolis, Mark Andrew was the guy who came in second in last month's mayoral election. To three robbers, he was just a mark.
Andrew, 63, needed nine stitches to close a head wound suffered Thursday when, according to police, two female teenagers beat him after their male friend snatched Andrew's iPhone from a coffee shop table and ran.
When Andrew gave chase, the two females allegedly jumped him and walloped him with a collapsible metal nightstick, police said.
Although the attack took place outside a Starbucks at the busy Mall of America and was witnessed by multitudes of shoppers, nobody intervened, Andrew said.
"Hundreds of people saw it," he said in a telephone interview. "Nobody came while I was getting assaulted. Whatever the reason, it was sad. It's a sad commentary."
"It was a very brazen assault," Vic Poyer, deputy chief of Bloomington police, said of the incident about 5:35 p.m. at a Starbucks in the West Market of the mall.
Letajia Shapree Cutler Cain, 18, of Brooklyn Park was charged Friday with two counts of aiding and abetting aggravated robbery and a count of aiding and abetting second-degree assault.

Aspiring rap artists in all their glory.
Guess you’re a lot more likely to get mugged if you have the latest iphone?
were they acting out their frustrations about the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow laws???
I don’t understand.Jim Crow had a Galaxy 4.
Maybe I shouldn’t joke, though. The beating was quite brutal to judge by the pictures.
No description included of those wanted in connection with this crime.
One of the Detroit mayoral candidates was carjacked last fall.
I’m safe then except for looking like Epic Beard Guy making me a target for a ‘polar bear’ ‘hunter’.
Can someone provide Bio. Info
“Mark Andrew was the guy who came in second in last month’s mayoral election”
We are talking about Mininoplace-St.Paul. My take is that the local rag would be reporting this as a hate crime on the wonabe mayor for not giving the underprivileged youts a hand up in the world.
Norwegians. Bank it.
Funny, that doesn't sound Norwegian.

Must come from a Chinese marker maker dynasty.
I don’t think we’re far from having an incident like this described as, “A racist white man attacked black teens with his head. After he threw his phone at them, they picked it up, not wanting to leave litter on the floor, and fled for safety. The innocent children were not injured. The racist was apprehended, and is undergoing psychiatric treatment to cure him of his problem.”
More white privilage on the loose!
Excuse me for being naive but were the attackers negroes?
The negroes were at home; those were ghetto-rats.
