Lakewood police say at approximately 9:17 p.m. on Feb. 13, the suspects asked the man for cigarettes and when the victim replied, "No," one began to yell at him. That's when one of the suspects started punching the victim, while holding him down by his hair. 

The second female reportedly stood by yelling racial slurs at the victim with the assault lasting for at least "five or six minutes," according to Lakewood PD.
