The jerk now arrested and charged has allegedly done worse things to unsuspecting people than simply beating them up from behind

Blaze News reported earlier this week about a 19-year-old man who admitted to punching unsuspecting people while being videotaped just so he could get likes and views on YouTube and TikTok.

If that’s not worrying enough, Alford Lewis said KHOU-TV that although he regrets his violent actions, he “simply made a mistake, and everyone makes mistakes” and “in the video you only see the bad things about it.”

Well, Lewis allegedly committed far worse acts against his beaten victims.

What are the details?

Lewis was charged with assault and aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon in connection with two incidents last Thursday. KHOU-TV reported in a separate storyciting court documents.

A man told this Harris County Sheriff’s Office He was walking on a path when a man, later identified as Lewis, came up from behind and struck him in the head, police said.

The victim added that he saw a second man recording the attack on his cell phone while Lewis laughed at him, KHOU noted.

Before the above incident, there was a similar attack in which Lewis and a man took video, the station said.
