Police Searching for 5 Men after Brutal Assault: “Don’t mess with us, we belong to ISIS”


A simple question for a cigarette, outside the famous Geno’s Steaks, resulted in a brutal assault by five men on a group out celebrating a wedding.

The attack on the woman who asked for the cigarette started a domino effect of violence, done in the name of ISIS.

“That is when the guys just lost their minds,” said Patrick Kane, 31 and a maintenance supervisor at an apartment building.

In seconds one man stood up, put his hand over the face of the woman and pushed her across the sidewalk, said Patrick Kane.

“‘Don’t mess with us, we belong to ISIS,'” Kane said the man shouted at them.

Brooke Kane, a daycare teacher, stepped in to help her friend. The ISIS comment was not a joke she told them before she too was struck, Patrick Kane said.

At that point he and the other man stepped in to try and help the girls with the intention of leaving.

“What went from putting hands on two girls became five guys attacking us,” said Kane.

Patrick Kane said one man punched him in the nose, which started bleeding. He was then punched in the back of the head by another man and hit twice in the eye. He remembers Brooke screaming at bystanders for help and to call police, the five men running off, someone from Geno’s giving him a bag of ice and police and EMTs arriving on the scene.

The police are looking for two cars, a dark colored pickup truck and an SUV with Jersey plates.  There is also a woman get-away driver connected with these five men.

Both Geno’s and the Police are asking for information to be given to the Central Detective Division at 215-686-3093 or 3094. To submit an anonymous tip dial 215.686.TIPS (8477) or text a tip to PPD TIP or 773847.
