5 Men in Texas Assault Suspected ‘Pedophile’ at H-E-B
When you commit a crime in Texas, there are consequences for your actions. Even if you think you’re doing the right thing.
Recently, KXAN released details about the Lakeway Police finding a man who was assaulted by a group of five other men. The victim has a bloody and swollen nose, bloody bare feet and cuts to his body.
The Attack Was Filmed
The attack took place at the H-E-B location on Ranch Road 620 in Lakeway, Texas.
One Suspect is Part of “Dad’s Against Predators” (DAP)
One of the suspects in this case is part of an online group known as Dad’s Against Predators. The group is out of Ohio but operates in multiple states.
Police were called on Friday, September 27th after a witness saw several men chasing a man in the store and out to the parking lot where the altercation became physical.
While attacking the man, the five participants were heard calling the victim in this case a pedophile. The attack is estimated to last around five minutes.
Anonymous Tip Led to Finding Attackers
Someone anonymously tipped off law enforcement to the group and social media posts made linking them to the attack. There is a similar attack that happened at another H-E-B, but didn’t mention which location.
Remember, even when you want to take action in situations like this, you need to let law enforcement do their job and hold people accountable for their actions. Police love the public’s assistance in preventing crime, but you cannot physically harm another person.
There is no word on the exact charges these five men will be facing.
