Teens arrested for "knockout game" violence in Memphis - Video
Ten teenagers and one adult are under arrest after a brutal mob attack at a Memphis grocery store.
And at least one witness said the teens appeared to be playing the so-called "knockout game," CBS News correspondent Don Dahler reports.
It's unclear if this was gang-related or had to do with the knockout game, or both, but the violent game has become increasingly popular around the country. The goal: to hit unsuspecting strangers and knock them out with a single punch.
According to police, the mob started beating a customer as he got out of his car in the store's parking lot.
Investigators say that when two employees came to help, the teens attacked, kicking them until they lost consciousness.
A witness said some of the kids threw pumpkins at one of the unconscious victims.
"It didn't seem real," a witness said. "It didn't seem like any of that would happen."
The witness, who asked not to be identified, said this was part of a violent game.
"They were playing a game called 'point them out, knock them out' where they would point someone out and attempt to knock them out or fight them. There was no real reason behind it," the witness said.

Violent attack hate crime? Memphis teens play knockout game on Kroger employees - Video
Emails circulating around oneWarren County municipality erroneously say the so-called knockout game is being played there, police said today.
Greenwich Townshippolice Chief Richard Hummer says a dispute between an adult and a group of juveniles Friday night was an isolated incident and that no one was assaulted.
The incident began shortly after 8 p.m. in the Greenwich Chase development, just west of Routes 519 and 22, with the juveniles on a sidewalk acting disorderly and shouting profanities at one another, police said.
The adult resident walked up and questioned one of the juveniles, sparking a dispute and call to police, according to a news release from the department; the juveniles left before police arrived.
Emails brought to the department's attention by the township committee made the incident out to be more than it was, reporting an assault and saying it was part of the knockout game. In the so-called game, an assailant -- primarily younger, and part of a group -- assaults someone at random and without provocation, in an attempt to knock the person unconscious, while someone else records it to share online.
"There was nobody assaulted, no punches thrown," Hummer said. "It was a dispute, it wasn't an assault.
"That did not happen. People are under the impression that it did."
No one has been charged with any crime in the incident, which remains under investigation.
Police ask anyone with information or questions to call the department at 908-454-1010.
