charlottesville downtown mall assault haven Charlottesville Police detectives have released a disturbing video documenting an assault on West Main Street on the Downtown Mall.

The assault occurred Oct. 20 at 10:46 a.m.

The investigation found that the incident stemmed from a dispute at The Haven over stolen property and carried over into the street, ultimately ending in the 100 block of West Main Street where video of the assault was obtained. The video shows one man running from two individuals and when he trips, the two gang up on him kicking him until a woman ultimately breaks up the fight.

CPD officers responded to and located the injured adult male sitting on the ground in the 100 block of West Main Street. The male was transported from the scene to the UVA Hospital for further evaluation of non-life-threatening injuries.

The Haven is a day shelter for the homeless in Charlottesville.
