A group of six hoodlums ganged up on a 74-year-old man outside a 7-Eleven in Baltimore last week, beating the elderly victim and trying to rob him, police said.
Surveillance footage released Wednesday by Baltimore police shows the suspects, who were all wearing hoodies, knocking the man to the ground multiple times and throwing objects at him.
At one point during the video, one of the sickos appears to point an assault rifle at the victim while another brandishes a sword.
The violent attempted robbery happened in the city’s Northern District just before 4 a.m. on July 7 at the Liberty Heights Avenue 7-Eleven location.
Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott recently announced a reported drop in violent crime, noting 50 homicides so far in 2026.
“This total represents the fewest homicides ever recorded in Baltimore through the first six months of a calendar year. Compared to this date last year, Baltimore has seen a 23.1% decrease in homicides and a 2.5% decrease in non-fatal shootings,” the announcement reported.
Baltimore Police confirmed to Fox News Digital that “the victim sustained minor bruising from the assault.”
7-Eleven and the Baltimore Police Department did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
The investigation is ongoing
