Knockout game comes to Dayton, teens facing felony

A disturbing internet "game" has made it to Dayton.

The "Knockout Game" has become viral, where people record themselves punching complete and unaware strangers.

"I think that this is kind of a copycat thing they're seeing other people online, YouTube, doing this and they think it's cool," said Detective Nathan Curley of the Dayton Police Department.

The video above shows Ronald Baird using a cart to collect cans near East Fifth Street last month, then one of the teens suddenly runs up behind him and punches him in the head. He abandons his cart and runs.

His attacker keeps chasing him, striking him again in the head and demanding his wallet. They got the man's wallet and $3 cash.

This video was given to police by a teacher at Stivers School of the Arts who saw it on a student's cell phone.

Dayton police tracked down two teens, 15 and 17 years old, who are now they are facing felony robbery charges.
