- Security cameras capture two men attacking a pair of friends. They knocked one out cold to leave the woman to try to fight them off on a Deep Ellum street.
Video of the attack is circulating online in hopes of finding the men responsible. Neither victim was seriously injured. They want the attackers caught.
Brandon Aruffo says he's still not thinking clearly. He suffered a concussion during a violent beating and robbery about 2:30 a.m. Saturday morning in Deep Ellum. He says he's still in lot of pain, including headaches, with staples now in the back of his head.
Surveillance cameras from near the Bomb Factory captured the attack. Aruffo and his friend were walking to their car when two men walked up from behind.
As Aruffo walked up to them as if to help, he was sucker punched and knocked out cold. The suspect then stole his wallet as the other man began beating his female friend and stealing her purse. The attackers then just casually walked off.
“Just my wallet. It's kind of funny because I got my watch on and my phone,” he said. “But I'm mean everybody’s still alive and they're OK. So that's what matters."
Phillip Honore' is the Public Safety Manager for the Deep Ellum Foundation and says neighbors need to look out for each other.
"It was very disturbing, the assault itself,” he said. “And then just as disturbing was obviously we had cars rolling by. And from what I understand, no one dialed 911."
Honore' says he's already shared the video with businesses and residents.
"They will share that information and then maybe we can identify the people that want to do harm to us and keep them out of our neighborhood,” he said.
As Aruffo slowly heals, he has some strong words for the suspects.
"I forgive you,” he said. “I hope that you find whatever in life that you're looking for and may God bless you. And I hope you just start living a better way."
Dallas police are investigating the attack as an aggravated robbery, but they did not provide any additional updates on their investigation.

Why is "assault" just a misdemeanor? It should be considered a felony. America needs to write some letters or protest to have this changed.
Simply assault is a misdemeanor. Assault with a deadly weapon and aggravated assault are felonies.
Robbed his wallet tards. It's a felony
And if they had just gone to the other side of the street????? Yep they would have been racist for prejudging. SMDH
Boi whattttt
No your racist!
God bless this young man for forgiving his assailants.
This is evil.
We’ve all been down there many times this could be any one of us
Brandon. You are a good person.
Brandon is going to have to learn to be a white apologist isn't going to help 9mm Glock will.
And what does this have to do with that thug bartender I ask?
This shouldn't surprise anyone.
Maybeso u can say that again!
poverty and lack of money is the problem that people get violent and criminal.
did you hav ever see a maserati driver robb a bank or attack peoples?
no only the poor people did it to survive or because they don´t learn other things in life.
typical
Cops need to protect the community more. I hope these people who caused this harm are brought to justice!!!!!!
Canadians strike again! Who’da thunk it.
Dont wastr any hopes for them they do not care & will laugh at u. Kust rise up & arm yourself w learning at least. Dont be a fool & be targeted again. Learn how to defend.

ACFM hd wtf racist
Anyone with sense that knows Brandon Aruffo knows he had this coming for a LONG time. Karma is truly a bitch. I was physically assaulted by this dude, but you don't see me crying hate crime. Ffs, life is hard for a white boy huh.
Damn karma
Why Karma? Hm?
Stephanie Nowak Because in this same neighborhood a white man beat up a black woman recently. It's all over the news. Google it.
Trash
BLM
I did feel sorry for the black woman that just got beat up by the white guy down there but not after seeing this.
@Cephus well if you no longer feel for the black woman who was beaten because of this video, then it was never true empathy anyway. If you were really sincere you would feel bad for both situations equally.smh
