Ludwig and his girlfriend, 34, began yelling at the group to leave the girl alone. However, a woman who was with the group began arguing with the couple and struck Ludwig’s girlfriend in the head with a tree limb. The rest of the group attacked Ludwig, punching him and hitting him with other objects.

The group ran off before police could arrive. No arrests have been made in the assault.

Ludwig suffered serious injuries in the attack. The extent of those injuries has not been disclosed, but a GoFundMe page shows the results of the horrific beating.
