The video was released Thursday afternoon.
Christopher Marquez, 30, an Iraq War vet, told the Washington Post he was eating in a back corner of the restaurant when a group of teens and young men approached his table, asking him if he thought 'black lives matter'.
Marquez said he ignored them, because he felt intimidated.
"I'm telling this to everybody because it's been happening a lot around here and across our country," Marquez told "Fox & Friends." "It was a hate crime. They targeted me because of my skin color. So, we're seeing a lot of these events of people being attacked because they're white. And I'm thinking we have to speak up more about this because it's just going to continue to happen."
Marquez said he left the McDonald's, but was knocked unconscious by a blow to his head. When he came to, his pants were ripped and his wallet, which contained $400 in cash, three credit cards and VA medical card among other items, was missing.

Carry concealed, blow them away, then send your life savings in lawyer fees defending yourself in Maryland.
Or, just take your beating.
No follow them home and give em payback one by one.
Marines lives matter, too. It's time for people to take a stand against this so-called movement as it's merely a guise to mask the real issue those thugs possess - racism.
Thugs who have nothing...have nothing to lose. They will receive what they truly deserve. A place in the ground or in the big house.
Pathetic excuses for humans.
And the cowards attacked him from behind while he was leaving. It is getting to the point that all white people segregate into our own groups and circle the wagons. It's a shame but it's only going to get worse until we are allowed to protect ourselves. And that is against the law in Maryland. That is because morons vote for morons which are called Democrats.
I watched ABC, NBC and CBS this evening. Nothing mentioned at all concerning this. If a black were attacked by whites this would have been their opening story.
The MSM is a bigoted as NAACP.
Speaking of the NAACP, they've been very quiet lately.
We need the EQUILizer!!!!
A word or two from the perspective of a black man; don't think you guys on this board get that much.
1) these punks deserve to be locked up or worse....I'm just hoping the day a legally armed white citizen guns one down in this situation doesn't devolve into a big race issue.
#2 don't fall for the bs. This has nothing to do with BLM. Same punk kids have been roaming that area starting trouble well before there was a blm.
#3 why isn't this news? Sad to tell you that again these same types of kids have long been starting this type of trouble but for decades their victims have been predominantly black. Talk to any DC/bmore/philly native and I guarantee they'll fill your ear with stories of being jumped on the way to school. With gentrification these punks now have more of a chance to target whites.
#4 lastly don't fall for the narrative that this is a black thing. What the news doesn't show is the tons of black kids who are at sports practices, clubs, in the library, the barber/salon apprentices, etc. Want to find them? Just go volunteer with some of the youth services groups or sign up to coach.
PSA over. Have a great friday!
2:02- No they have not. They are trying to get the confederate statue in Talbot County removed again.
It can't be a hate crime right, he was WHITE !!
Thugs, cowards, and low-lifes. ALL LIVES MATTER. This racist rant about black lives matter is ridiculous. These pure breed criminals are always looking for excuses to justify their bad behavior. If this happens to you, immediately call 911 and wait for assistance. Then you will see how brave and bad they really are when the police arrive. Racism will never be eliminated until we weed out these criminals from society.
5:58 you have made a good points.
The other part of the problem is that we have not properly handled the issue over the years
"Police in Washington, D.C., Thursday released surveillance video of the alleged weekend robbery and beating of a decorated former Marine outside a city McDonald's."
Alleged? It's on video! It's only alleged when the convincing evidence to support it has yet to be presented. When two cars meet head-on at 60 mph, is it an alleged crash?
Media covering its behind has turned the corner to the absurd.
