   A 63-year-old and two other adults were attacked by a group of youths, leaving   
   one with serious injuries on Wednesday afternoon, with Milwaukee police   
   arresting three teen boys, so far.   
      
   The attack happened in a restaurant at a McDonald's in the 700 block of South   
   First Street, according to family of the victims.   
      
   Police said they were called to the scene around 4 p.m. and subsequently   
   arrested two 14-year-old boys and a 15-year-old boy. They continue to seek   
   additional suspects in an active investigation.   
      
   The two other adults, ages 62 and 53, were medically treated at the scene,   
   police said in a news release.   
      
   Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson released a statement on the incident on   
   Thursday, saying he was appalled by the "actions of the young people involved   
   in yesterday's assaults in the Bradley Tech neighborhood."   
      
   "The attack on the victims was without any conceivable justification. The   
   victims have my prayers for a speedy recovery," Johnson's statement said.   
      
   Felipe Martinez identified his father, Freddie Vega, as the man who was   
   seriously injured ahead of a march Thursday. The 62-year-old victim was   
   identified as Jesse Andino, by his son Jesus Andino Jr. The third adult   
   involved was not identified.   
      
   The suspects are facing felony aggravated assault charges "due to the   
   egregiousness of this incident," the police said in its news release.   
      
   Video of attack stirs outrage   
   Police shared the news release on Thursday, and it came after videos surfaced   
   on social media Wednesday night depicting events that are similar to what the   
   release described. Milwaukee police declined to confirm if the video footage   
   and the press release    
   were referencing the same incident.   
      
   The videos posted on social media show a group of youths kicking, punching and   
   stomping on a man who is on the ground. Another video showed other adults   
   running from the group and the man in the other video getting up from the   
   ground with a bloodied face.   
      
   The mayor's statement referred to Milwaukee Public Schools' Lynde and Harry   
   Bradley Technology and Trade School and the ongoing effort to return police to   
   the district. "It is also well past time for the restoration of police   
   officers at schools. I ask    
   MPS to address this with urgency," the statement said.   
      
   An MPS spokesperson said the district "is aware of an incident that happened   
   in the community yesterday involving a group of teenagers" and that it did not   
   occur on school property.   
      
   MPS said it could not share information about students or families, due to   
   state and federal law. It said it follows its code of conduct in addressing   
   consequences for anyone involved in "situations that impact the safety or   
   learning environment of other    
   students."   
      
   Accountability sought of parents, public officials   
   Andino Jr. says he was working down the block when the attack happened and   
   that frustrates him.Andino said McDonald’s and the gas station is a hangout   
   for students at the nearby Bradley Tech.“The root of the problem is the   
   parents, the anger these    
   kids have. There’s community centers being closed down … they need to be   
   taken care of. We just need to be taken care of as a community,” he said.   
   “We have to be there for our kids.”   
      
   Martinez, the son of one of the victims, said he didn’t want this to be   
   construed as a hate crime or as Black people against Brown people.   
      
   “It makes you think how is that OK?” he said of the assault. “What   
   possesses you to do something to somebody who looks like a grandfather?”   
      
   He called for accountability from public officials.   
      
   Vega and other speakers were critical of the lack of public officials in   
   attendance at the demonstration.   
      
   Walter Garron, the chairman of the Brown Berets, said he was requesting a   
   meeting with the local police captain, Mayor Johnson and MPS officials.   
      
   Garron said his group would begin to patrol the streets after the incident and   
   have done so in the past in emergencies involving local businesses like food   
   trucks on the south side of the city.
