A viral video from independent photojournalist Rebecca Brannon captured several disturbing incidents at bar close early Saturday in downtown Minneapolis.

The first clip in the video shows a man being brutally assaulted and kicked in the face by a group of several young, white males outside the Gay 90s nightclub.

According to Crime Watch Minneapolis, an assault victim arrived at Hennepin County Medical Center shortly after the incident and said he was jumped by five guys at the Gay 90s.

Another clip shows an assault victim being wheeled out of the nightclub on a stretcher. Crime Watch reports that the male victim was pistol whipped and had an arterial bleed from the forehead.

Police responded to multiple assault reports outside the Gay 90s early Saturday, according to Crime Watch.

Brannon’s video also captured vehicles blocking traffic as women danced on top of them and police on horseback breaking up a fight in a parking lot.

“[I] saw a lot more chaos than I expected given how cold it was,” Brannon said. “Police were scarce. Situations felt volatile in which I tried to keep my distance especially at fight break up in a bar parking lot.”

According to the city’s crime dashboard, assaults are up 8% compared to this time last year.
