The New Orleans Police Department has released video showing an attack that left a man critically wounded during a robbery Saturday night (June 24) in the French Quarter. The vicious robbery was reported just before 11 p.m. Saturday in the 200 block of Bienville Street.
Captured from surveillance footage, the video shows two men walking on Bienville Street at 8:52 p.m. At the video's 1:30 mark, a pair of males run up behind the two victims and begin to assault them.
WARNING: This video contains graphic content. NOPD Incident F-30418-17 (65 208 Bienville Street)
One of the assailants appears to punch one victim across his face from behind, knocking the victim out cold. Blood can be seen pooling around the victim's motionless body as the video continues.
The other victim appears to be tackled by another assailant, but is not knocked unconscious. As he wrestles the victim to the ground, two other male suspects arrive from behind on Bienville Street.
One suspect then begins to rifle through the pockets of the motionless victim, who is lying face-down on the ground. The other victim also appears to be robbed before a suspect shoves him to the ground. All four suspects then run away.
At that point, the conscious victim moves toward his companion, who can be seen starting to heave on the ground. Two passersby arrive, one of whom appears to make a phone call, and the video ends.

Went to the New York city ONCE. Found it disgusting and seedy. I never plan to back.
No plans, but I could go back to NOLA. Especially if they replace the statue of Robert E Lee (just kidding).
The city probably has no idea how much tourism they actually lose due to stories like this. They’re probably too stupid to know that there’s this thing called ‘the internet’ where people access news from everywhere and whenever they want it.
From what I read about NOLA, have no intention of visiting this tourist spot. Not worth having to be on constant alert for a mugging. Same with Chicago, same with many other socialist utopias.
What? I see no such thing in the Philly-to-DC cities and suburbs. Maryland is very mixed, two counties deep outside the large cities. And since 2008, there has been a concerted effort to shoehorn Section 8's into all areas, including HOA and gated communities.
Tell me again....whose sons are these!!!
It’s about time to start setting up signs offering FREE STUFF at 8:30pm and then cutting down every scumbag standing in line.
Sure, let's blame the victims! They were asking for it.
“Sure, let’s blame the victims! They were asking for it.”
Not blaming the victims, it is simply standard police work, and the thugs that attacked the two Unitarians will be caught and prosecuted and sent to Angola.
The two Unitarians will go back to Boston.
Another attack caught on video that didn’t make even the local news in New Orleans.
Reverse the races and this is national news. Black on white crime doesn’t get even local coverage these days.

Same m.o. - sucker punch - knockout game style - then rob.
You’re right about the Section 8 housing, which is used as a means to fund welfarians (as their cities are bankrupt) - but once they appear in a neighborhood in any numbers (where a racial attack is even a possibility), the whites leave. Our black populations live closest to the Hispanics and Asians trafficked here to fill those voids created.
I’m not aware that Philly has integrated neighborhoods, and never considered Marylanders “Yankees” - not out of snootiness, but because I’d think they find it offensive. Maryland wasn’t just a slave state during the Civil War (which another FReeper described as “flooded with Union troops by Abraham Lincoln to prevent them from joining the Confederacy”), but it is south of the Mason-Dixon line.
Following up this story — 2 arrested so far:
They were righter than we know!
“These men were religious Unitarians....”
Do you know what an Oxymoron is?
