A group of teenagers in Florida brutally assaulted a man last week, attacking him with what authorities describe as “a savage fury,” and continued to strike him with repeated blows, according to police reports.

The reported incident occurred on Monday, May 5, around 11:40 p.m. in Polk County. Authorities claim that the four teenagers, three of whom are legally adults facing adult charges, admitted they attacked the victim due to his alleged harassment of their autistic friend, as stated in a Polk County Sheriff’s Office press release.

Juan Ramos, 35, told police he was talking to a man at a Mulberry car wash on North Church Avenue when the group allegedly set upon him.

“Next thing I know, I’m getting pounded,” Ramos recalled to NBC affiliate WFLA from his hospital bed.

“I didn’t know what was going on,” he said.

The teens charged as adults have been identified by police as Eathan Simmons, 18, and Westlee Davis II, 18, who are both charged with attempted second-degree murder, aggravated battery with bodily harm, rioting, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and Dalton Creach, 19, is charged with rioting and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Cops have requested that a 17-year-old who was allegedly involved be charged as an adult with attempted murder, aggravated battery with bodily harm, rioting, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

According to PCSO officials, Ramos admitted to being intoxicated during the incident and on probation, which caused him to not report what allegedly happened at first. His wife wound up being the one who called cops, with detectives then asking that he come forward to cooperate and help put the teens behind bars.

“They beat him without mercy,” said Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd at a Friday press briefing. “Jumped on him like a bunch of pack animals.”

Ramos suffered serious injuries to his face as a result of the alleged beating, including a broken nose, broken jaw, multiple lacerations and swelling. The sheriff’s office released an image of him from the hospital showing the severity of his injuries, along with cellphone footage of the alleged incident.
