A man was brutally  beaten early Sunday morning in the streets of Greektown outside the casino as people watched. The beating was captured on video.

The video shows a person punching and kicking one man, dragging another and attacking and stomping on a man who was out cold.

Groups of people stand around watching and no one called police. Police said they learned of the fight after a video was posted on Facebook, WDIV reports. Chief James Craig later said someone did call police, according to WWJ.

Josh Landon of Fox 2 identified the man who was out cold as Brandon Putnam, 23, who was at the casino with friends celebrating his birthday. 

Police are searching for people responsible for the serious injuries.

Putnam's sister tells Fox 2 that her brother was being treated at Detroit Receiving Hospital and suffered head trauma, including a fractured skull and internal bleeding.

Putnam's cousins who were with him that night are also recovering at Detroit Receiving, but Putnam suffered the worst injuriess.
