Street Justice - Crowd Beats 2 People After Alleged Hit-And-Run Accident
MILWAUKEE -- Authorities in Milwaukee said a crowd pulled two men from a car Friday night and beat them after the driver allegedly struck three children and tried to flee.
The sheriff's department said a car hit two 14-year-olds as they crossed a street. Then, police said the driver made a U-turn and hit a 12-year-old.
The sheriff's department said a large crowd surrounded the car, pulled out the driver and a 29-year-old passenger and beat them.
The two 14-year-olds remain hospitalized. The men were taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries, and charges are pending. No one in the crowd has been arrested.
A witness said she saw the car swerve and drive the wrong way down one-way streets before the children were hit.
