Police are looking for teen suspects appearing in a violent YouTube video showing attacks on random bicyclists, pedestrians, and children.
The six minute long video is described as "A video of a bunch of Somali males engaging in criminal behavior assaulting random bicyclists and children" and is edited and set to music. It shows several teen boys taking turns saying "Watch this!" before attacking random people walking or riding bikes.
"The biggest issue here is these are crimes that create tremendous levels of fear," said Sgt. Paul Schnell with the St Paul Police Department.
Police are unclear of a motive on the random attacks, although "They simply appear to be motivated by messing with, harming, hurting, or scaring people," Schnell said.
The video does give police key pieces of evidence; the suspect's faces, images of the crimes being committed, and their names. In the video, the boys give both their full names and nicknames, such as 'Shark,' 'Lil Stain' and 'Jigsaw."
Police are encouraging victims of the crimes to come forward though, before prosecutors can charge the boys with the crimes.
