'Don't Mess With Us — We Belong to ISIS!': Five Men Attack Couples So Brutally Police Won't Release 'Too Graphic' Surveillance Video

For Patrick and Brooke Kane and their friends, it had been a night of revelry.

First a friend's wedding, then time at an after-hours club — and it all would be capped off with a post-4 a.m. bite to eat at Geno's, the famed Philadelphia cheesesteak establishment.

But when Brooke Kane's friend casually asked a group of men if she could bum a cigarette, trouble began.

"That is when the guys just lost their minds," Patrick Kane told Philly.com of the June 11 incident.

He told the outlet one man stood up, placed his hand over the woman's face and pushed her across the sidewalk.

Kane recalled to Philly.com the man's shout: "Don't mess with us — we belong to ISIS!"

Brooke Kane tried to help her friend, but her husband told WCAU-TV that her efforts only escalated things.

"He got in her face and said, 'What makes you think I'm joking?'" Kane recalled to the station. "Then he put his hands on her and pushed her across the sidewalk."

That's when Kane and another man who was with them got physically involved — and then all five men in the group began beating them.

"I got hit in the nose," Kane, 31, told WCAU. "I got hit in the back of the head."

In addition to a bloodied nose, he got hit twice in the eye, Philly.com reported. Kane told the outlet that he remembers his wife yelling for bystanders to call police, the five men taking off running and a Geno's employee giving him a bag of ice.

More from Philly.com:

The men, all caught on surveillance video, fled in two cars — a dark colored pickup truck and an SUV — both with New Jersey license plates.

Police are also looking for one woman described as a getaway driver.

Police did not provide information about the assault, but said the video of it was "too graphic" to release.

Kane still has a faint scar under his right eye, WCAU reported, adding that he was particularly disturbed by the "ISIS" remark.

"You can't really take things lightly anymore," Kane told the station. "Even if you sit there and say it's a joke, it's not funny."

WCAU said it asked police about the alleged "ISIS" comment but that police replied that they're only investigating the incident as an assault for the moment.
