A United States Marine was recently attacked by several individuals outside of a fast-food establishment. Now, police in Washington D.C. have the video of the attack and are currently looking for those responsible for the attack.

The Marine, Chris Marquez, says that the young men who attacked him baited him into discussing if "Black Lives Matter." When he attempted to avoid the conversation and leave the restaurant, that's when they attacked.

Marquez was knocked out as he exited the establishment, but the attack continued. In the video you can see one young male steal his wallet while he is unconscious on the sidewalk.

Police say that they will not charge the suspects with a "hate crime," which Marquez disagrees with. The U.S. Marine says that he feels he was attacked because of his race.

We will continue to follow this developing story.
