CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A group attacked a transgender Cleveland resident with a brick, a wooden plank and a helmet and posted a video of the attack on Snapchat, according to police and court records.

Two men and two women repeatedly hit, stomped and kicked the 20-year-old victim Sunday at an apartment complex in the city's Brooklyn Centre neighborhood. The victim suffered severe facial swelling and cuts to the face and ears, and was treated at MetroHealth.

A family member of the victim, who did not want to be identified out of fear for the victim's safety, said the victim did not identify as a man or woman, but only as transgender.

Investigators identified one of the men involved in the attack as Sean Tolbert, 19, of Cleveland, according to court records. Tolbert, who is charged with felonious assault and kidnapping, is not in custody but a warrant was issued for his arrest.

The victim's family member said the group terrorized the victim for months prior to the attack, which happened Sunday afternoon at an apartment complex on Archwood Avenue.

The victim was forced to wash Tolbert's car to repay a $15 debt. Tolbert repeatedly hit the victim with a wooden plank every time the victim missed a spot on the car, according to police reports.

Later, a group of four people, including Tolbert, grabbed and repeatedly attacked the victim with several objects, including a helmet, a brick and wooden plank while shouting transgender slurs, according to court records.

Tolbert picked up and slammed the victim to the ground during the attack, court records say.

The other three attackers have not yet been identified. One of the assailants recorded the attack and posted it on Snapchat, according to court records.

Investigators obtained a copy of that video as well as surveillance video from the apartment building, according to court records.

The attack could be classified as a hate crime, according to a second report taken two days later. The second report was taken because Tolbert is accused of nearly driving his car into apartment building managers who served him an eviction notice because of the attack.

Tolbert argued with the managers when they went to serve him the eviction notice, and slammed a door in their face. The managers walked to the parking lot and Tolbert followed them, saying what he had done to the transgender victim "wasn't as bad as other things going on in the building," the report says.

Tolbert then jumped into his car and drove at the managers, turning at the last second to narrowly miss hitting them, the report says. The managers told police they didn't think Tolbert was trying to hit them with his car, but felt like he was trying to intimidate them, the report says.

Tolbert is charged with aggravated menacing, a first-degree misdemeanor, in that incident.
