Philly mob beats homeless man into coma with hammer, furniture leg

Two people have been arrested and Philadelphia cops are searching for several more suspects in a vicious gas station beating during which a mob used a hammer, pepper spray and a piece of chair leg to put a bleeding 51-year-old man in a coma.

Shareena Joachim, 24, and Aleathea Gillard, 34, were both arrested Tuesday shortly after they fled the scene, a Sunoco gas station along North 5th St., in a minivan. But police later released horrifying video that shows as many as six different people pull up to the gas station, jump out of the car and begin the vicious assault on the victim, described by police as a homeless man.

The entire confrontation began after a 10-year-old boy, jockeying with the man over who would next pump a customer’s gas for spare change, told his mother the man had hit him, police told the Philadelphia Inquirer.

But cops, reviewing hours of footage, found no such bump or hit take place. Instead, investigators unearthed the horrifying, family beatdown on the defenseless victim.

"Just watching, you see the viciousness of it," Lt. Dan Brooks of Northwest Detectives told the Inquirer.

The sequence begins with five people pouring out of the van and running up to the man, who tries to take cover as the first blows rain down. One woman runs up with a hammer and strikes the victim in the head, sending him onto the sidewalk as the rest of the group uses fists, feet and a rocking chair leg to repeatedly hit the man, prone on the sidewalk in the fetal position.

Joachim tried to Mace her victim, but instead used it on a member of the gang, seen in a red shirt in the video. He grabs his face in pain and runs back to the van after he was accidentally pepper sprayed.

The relentless attack continues, even as the unmoving man lies still on the ground.

As the group prepares to leave, one adult grabs the 10-year-old boy and brings him over to the critically hurt man to show off the group’s handiwork.

Subhuman behavior. And there's no "soul" in the eyes of the suspects.

Yeah. If only.

Yeah. He might not have a roof but at least he's got a firearm.

When you view the video that came with the story it almost looks like a family attack. Everyone piles out of the car and attacks on orders of the woman in the white t shirt . We can see why Marvin feel the need to disarm everyone . Some of the brothers might be hurt in the beat down . Just lie there and take the beating . Maybe you will survive.. After a year in the hospital. No need to worry everyone has Kenyan care.. Maybe your brain function will be normal.... They were just having a little fun with the guy. ... Why carry this is a perfect example .

You appear to be suggesting there that Marvin supports acts of violence.

He has all that security training .. No.. He is constantly ridiculing folks that conceal carry . These animals would not have waited for someone to go home and get their firearm. .. Go to Walmart stop and pump gas on the way home .CC all the time . Did you see a police officer in that video .. They arrive to sweep up the broken people. Folks in the background just walking by . Just another beat down in the hood . Go about your business . Nothing to see here. You notice it is always a pack that attacks ,never one on one . When that woman drags that child over to get a good look at the beat down what did she tell him. ???? When you go polar bear hunting in a few years this is how it is done . . .. Perfect example on why CC needs to be easier to obtain .

so, homeless people should first and foremost conceal carry, food/shelter is secondary. maybe churches should hand out pistols at soup kitchens?

I think you should be ridiculed for promoting such a demented premise. Owning a gun is likely rather low on the lost of priorities for someone who is homeless.

After the animals kill him there is no need for food and shelter . How much will his medical bills be ? Half million a million ? Who pays for that ?

What a misleading headline and done on purpose no doubt. Mob? This wasn't a mob, this appears to have been a family.

I am in no way defending the actions of the people in the video, but this was obviously a planned attack by what appears to be a family of all ages including children. Something tells me that these people have interacted before and things didn't go well. This isn't some random attack for kicks.

There are millions of people that CC and it is not low on their list of priorities. You folks desire to take away that advantage during such an attack. . So what are his priorities today . Laying there in a coma .
