Barbaric attack by BLM mob

Ore. man battered

- By LEE BROWN

A mob of Black Lives Matter protesters in Portland forced a man to crash his truck, then punched and kicked him unconsciou­s, disturbing footage shows.

A series of clips on social media shows the victim first being surrounded in his white Ford truck at 10.30 p.m. Sunday as others attacked a woman who appeared to be with the driver.

“He didn’t do nothing!” someone could be heard calling as others punched the driver as he sat in his truck in downtown Portland.

The driver eventually sped off and was chased by the mob, some of whom were heard laughing loudly when he crashed into a tree and then a building.

He was dragged from the truck and tackled to the ground as he begged for help — getting punched repeatedly as he sat on the ground, the videos show.

“I ain’t tryna hurt no one,” he said.

“I was trying to get out the way,” he insisted of crashing his truck, as several members of the group punched him in the face and repeatedly called the white driver the N-word.

As the mob dispersed, the main offender circled back around, kicking the driver in the face from behind.

“What the f--k is you talkin’ about n---er!” the attacker — wearing a shirt with “SECURITY” on the front and back — screamed after the thud of his victim’s head hitting the ground.

The victim was then shown bleeding from a large wound in the back of his head as he appeared unconsciou­s throughout another almost 2½-minute clip.

The woman who was attacked was shown sobbing nearby as the mob held her back and appeared to rifle through the truck.

“Black live matter, n---er!” one man ranted as other people checked the victim was still alive. Even as he remained unconsciou­s, a woman was heard taunting him, “Get your bitch ass up!”

Cops in riot gear had to assist ambulance crews as they were confronted by “a hostile crowd,” police said.

The victim was taken to a hospital with serious injuries, police said. “The incident is under investigat­ion and no arrests have been made,” police said.

It was unclear what sparked the confrontat­ion, but some witnesses tweeted that the driver had first tried to intervene in an altercatio­n between the mob and another person.

Police said “protesters were chasing the truck before it crashed, and they assaulted the driver after the crash.”

The attack came as Portland police said dozens of genuine crime victims went without help the night before, as cops were mobbed by rioters who pelted them with bottles and rocks while chanting, “Kill a cop, save a life.”

“At the time of this release over 60 calls for police service were holding around the city,” the Portland Police Bureau said early Sunday after again declaring a riot.

The calls for help included some for “theft, vandalism, suspicious activity, hazards, hit and run, burglary, violation of restrainin­g order, alarms, stolen cars, harassment and many others,” the police department said in a statement.
