BALTIMORE (WJZ) — A violent and brutal attack on two Korean women store owners overnight Monday, all caught on camera.
“I’m feeling raged, of course watching a video of your mom and your aunt beat is crazy,” John Yun, son of one of the women attacked.
John Yun still shaken by the attack on his mother and aunt that came without warning or reason.
“It doesn’t make sense why they would come here to make a living and get treated like this in a community that should embrace (them) because we’ve been here for over 20 something years, we are a part of this community,” said Yun.
Yun says his mother and aunt own Wonderland Liquor Store on Pennsylvania Ave in West Baltimore.
Graphic surveillance video shows Yun’s aunt walking to the front of the store trying to close shop, when a man in a red shirt approaches her with a cement block in his hand. He’s then seen pulling her to the ground and beating her with the block.
As the other woman, Yun’s mother, steps in to try to help, she was also hit in the head.
“She says this is the first time she has ever seen him so, random, random act,” said Yun.
You can see both women trying to fight the man off for about two and a half minutes by pushing him out of the store, but they were overpowered.
“I’m so proud of the, like the courage to actually stick up like that, it’s insane,” said Yun.
Shortly after, Baltimore Police arrested the man identified as 50-year-old Daryl Doyles and charged him with two counts of aggravated assault.
Yun says both his aunt and mother were taken to the hospital with severe injuries and are now at home recovering.
“They’re in shock,” said Yun. “My aunt got the worst of it, 30 stitches, bruising… to see them in person like that, it’s so disheartening.”
Community members stood in solidarity with Yun as he spoke with WJZ.
“It’s not about Asian, white, black or whatever, this is humanity,” said Bilal Ali, former delegate for 44th district. “As a former representative of the community, I’m saying enough is enough of this nonsense.”
“I do want justice for this incident that has happened because imagine watching a video vice versa, imagine what you would think of your mom being attacked,” said Yun.
As Yun tries to make sense of the attack, he’s sending a clear message to others.
“Everyone is treated equally, there’s not one person higher than another. So please, just stop all this hate, it needs to stop,” said Yun.
A Go Fund Me page has also been created to help with the healing and recovery process for Yun’s mother and aunt.
I saw the video of the interview...Mr. Yun could still be in college...
Koreans often set up businesses in "bad" parts of the city...To make enough money and live in nice suburbs...To make sure that their kids attend good schools, either public or private...They know that most schools in the big cities are terrible...
I think Mr. Yun's mother probably did the same thing...
Mr. Yun stated that his mother and aunt never met Mr. Daryl Doyles before...Mr. Doyles has been arrested...
It is possible that Mr. Doyles has some mental problems...Maybe he is homeless...Many homeless people have mental problems...
EVERY liquor store in a bad area has a gun under the cash register. I’ve done work in them. God help the next perp.
every freekin day since Joe took the helm.
I never saw Asians take any crap
We are seeing Blacks committing serious racist acts in this country. Why is no one calling it out?
Don’t trust your lying eyes; it was another white supremacist.
Because doing so would get you called racist.
Aggravated assault? He was beating her in the head with a cinder block, why isn’t that attempted murder?
‘Cause ya’ll whyte peeeples be trippin’ and stuff.
Obvious answer, it would be seen as raysis.
SURPRISE
That’s the way I see it. Assault with a deadly weapon.
Didn't you get the memo?
I must be psychic
Looks like he got some Asian in his ancestry.
Most groups earn their negative reputation. And it doesn’t take a majority of them to solidify the opinions of others.
I Just KNEW it was a white supremacist.
🤷
Yes, predator sounds like homeless nutjob strung out oncrack or meth.
