Two suspects are charged after video of assault near KC’s Westport was posted online

Officers have charged two people allegedly involved in an aggravated assault that was posted on social media.

Daniel McQuarters and Collin London, both 26, were charged with two counts each of first-degree aggravated assault for allegedly attacking a man and woman on Oct. 23 around 40th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue near Westport.

Kansas City police said on Friday that, after putting a call to social media for help identifying the suspects, the two men were arrested and charged.

The video shows one suspect kicking a man who is lying on the ground. A woman lays on top of the man to protect him when another suspect seems to hit her across the face with a gun, knocking her to the ground.
