Security cameras captured the moment a group of eight individuals, including teens, assaulted and robbed a person in downtown Cincinnati.
The assault happened Tuesday just after 8 p.m. near the intersection of Walnut and E 6th streets. It was caught on two separate security cameras.
In the videos provided to WCPO 9, a person walking down the street is jumped from behind by a group of people. The group kicks him to the ground and steals some of his belongings before they run off. Though the victim was repeatedly punched and kicked, they only suffered minor injuries, according to a police incident report.

CPD Lt. Jonathan Cunningham said two people — 18-year-old Jadin Shaw and a 14-year-old boy — have been arrested for the assault. Both are charged with robbery, according to the incident report.
“This incident is very disturbing to watch,” Cunningham said. “It is not OK to do what this group of individuals did to this victim. Two individuals have been arrested and must be held accountable for their actions.”
