MILL CREEK, W.Va. (WBOY) — Three men have been arrested after they posted a video on social media of them assaulting a homeless man in Randolph County.

According to press releases sent out by the Randolph County Sheriff’s Department and the West Virginia State Police, on July 10, law enforcement was alerted to a video being shared on social media “depicting a man being beaten in the Mill Creek area.”

In the video, a 45-year-old male victim is shown being beaten and kicked by two male subjects, who were identified as Kaiden Pinkerton, 18, of Mill Creek; and Joshua Fortney, 22, of Valley Head; while Austin Lanham, 21, of Huttonsville, recorded the incident and posted the video to his account on Snapchat and Facebook, according to the releases.
