Watch: OPD releases video of skateboard attack

ORLANDO, Fla. — Orlando police hope that this cell phone video will help them track down a group of men who assaulted two people downtown, using their skateboards as weapons.

The attack happened in May, but deputies still haven’t made any arrests.

That’s why footage filmed by a bystander was just released.

Brett Thompson, the most injured of the two men who were attacked, says that he was trying to stop a fight between the skateboarders and his friend.

The video shows the moment that he was blindsided by a skateboard to the face by one of the 6 to 8 attackers.

Be advised that the video contains violence and foul language.

During his tenure at Orlando Regional Medical Center, Thompson stated that he did not give anyone permission to hit him, and desires prosecution.
