Brutal attack: The young men began beating the pair, punching Cole in the face and knocking her to the ground

According to KY3 News, the confrontation began when Cole was standing outside of the Outland Ballroom where Vassey was working as a DJ.

She told the station she was approached by the group of men, who began to sexually assault her.

She said she went inside the club to find Vassey and alert him to the assault.

Vassey and Cole left the club to try and identify the men who Cole said assaulted her when they were set upon by a group of six young black males.

Vassey is punched and kicked repeatedly, while one of the men punches Cole in the face, knocking her to the ground.

She can be seen repeatedly trying to separate the men from her boyfriend and she is again pushed to the ground.
