Police in Omaha are investigating a video showing a group of students attacking two people at a bus stop near a school.

Omaha Police are investigating a video that appears to show a group of students attacking a woman and a man at a North Omaha bus stop near North High School on Thursday afternoon. The video was posted on Facebook by the Omaha Police Officers Association, which appealed for the public's help in identifying those responsible. Both victims had visible head and facial injuries.

According to the video, a man confronted the group, who told him to get off the bus. When he exited, a woman approached the door and was attacked by the group. The group also assaulted the man outside the bus. Association President Patrick Dempsey said the incident reportedly began with words exchanged between the students and the man over an alleged cell phone theft, though police reports do not confirm what led to the confrontation.

The man reported that his jacket, phone, debit card and cash were stolen. The woman reported that her glasses were broken and approximately $60 was taken. Omaha Police said detectives are actively investigating to identify everyone involved and are working closely with Metro Transit and School Resource Officers as the investigation continues and arrests are made.
