The violence occurred Friday night in Democrat-run Cincinnati.
Multiple clips circulating online show a white man being stomped and kicked in the head by a group of black assailants made up of both men and women.
At one point, a white woman tried to intervene and help the male victim.
She was bashed in the back of the head by a black female and then punched square in the face by a black male. She crumpled to the pavement, unconscious.

“I don’t know the full context. I don’t know how the fight started. But the one part that I saw was really gruesome, is you had a grown man who sucker punched a middle-aged woman,” the VP said bluntly.
He added, “And where I come from, at least, when you have a grown man who sucker punches a middle-aged woman, that person ought to go to jail for a very long time.
“And frankly, he’s lucky there weren’t some better people around, because they would’ve handled it themselves.”
Vance said Americans should be able to enjoy a night out without fearing violence.

“And the only way to destroy that street violence is to take the thugs who engage in that violence and throw their a***s in prison.”
It shouldn’t matter what color you are. Every American should be safe from senseless and sometimes what appears to be racially motivated violence.

No one in government – from the Cincinnati mayor to President Donald Trump – can change hearts and minds with an ink pen.
But if judges start sending people to jail, as Vance noted, some of those in our society might think twice before jumping a duo of helpless people in a city crawling with cops.
