Gang videotapes beating in former expo-center parking lot

University of Massachusetts Police report they are looking for four thugs who beat somebody up in the old Bayside Expo Center parking lot - and a fifth who taped the beating - on June 7.

Five suspects approached victim in the Bayside Expo parking lot and started a conversation. One suspect struck the victim in the head. The other 3 males began to hit victim as well while the female videotaped. The group stole victim's bag and started to walk towards Harbor Point Apartments.

The victim followed the pack, at least until one of the men reached into the woman's back and showed off the handgun she was carrying.

UMass is in charge of the investigation because it now owns the expo-center property.
