The victims said it was a group of male suspects between the ages of 15 to 20, all wearing hooded sweatshirts, according to the report. The victims did not see a weapon among the group.
One of the victims was able to fight off the attackers, sustaining minor injures including a small scrape on the right side of his face, and another on his right knee, for which he later refused treatment. After the suspects fled the area on foot, the victim noticed the woman he was with was laying on the ground bleeding and unconscious. She was taken to Maryland Shock Trauma, where she was treated for a cut to the right side of her face, swelling of her entire face, and a severely injured left eye.

A valet driver for the steakhouse called police but said he did not witness the attack. Police did not find footage of the attack on CityWatch cameras, but the assault was captured by the CCTV system at the Hyatt Hotel.
According to the report, the video shows a group of seven male suspects attacking the two victims in an unprovoked assault. The video was too far away though to be able to provide distinguishing details to accurately identify the suspects. Police canvassed the area but also did not locate the suspects. Police planned on contacting additional area businesses to see if additional footage or witnesses of the attack can be found.
