According to the footage and the women’s accounts, the three were standing on Hollywood Boulevard waiting for an Uber when a group of at least six men approached them and stole Eden’s phone, at which point the women began to chase them to get the phone back. The incident then escalated, with the men beginning to jeer at them, mock them, and assault them.
 
The footage shows the men throwing a scooter at the women, comparing them to the characters from the film White Chicks, and calling them men. They also pulled a knife on them and chased them down in cars when they tried to run away. One of the assailants can be seen attacking Whiterose and hitting her in the head, which Eden says knocked Whiterose unconscious for a time. In the men’s footage, they can be heard saying "She's dead" and "Hit her again."
 
In a statement from the Los Angeles Police Department, they confirmed that a suspect first approached the three women at 2:15 a.m. with an offer to buy them merchandise, returning a few minutes later with a metal bar and demanding one woman hand over her shoes and bracelet. "In fear, the victim compiled, the suspect grabbed her by the hand and they walked together for a short distance before she was able to escape," a report sent to Refinery29 reads. According to the report, this is when Whitehorse was hit over the head. The LAPD said that no arrests have been made yet, but that it is searching for suspects, though at least one of the women has named her attackers.
