NEW ORLEANS — Two Boston tourists were viciously beaten and robbed by a group of four people in the French Quarter over the weekend. <br /> <br /> <br />Surveillance footage shows James Curran and Tim Byrne walking down the sidewalk around 9 p.m. on Saturday when they are rushed from behind by two men, WWLTV reported. <br /> <br /> <br />Curran gets put in a chokehold and wrestled to the ground, while Byrne gets treated to a brutal suckerpunch. <br /> <br />Two other individuals then run up to join the first two attackers. The four men then proceed to rob the two tourists of their wallets and phones, before running off. <br /> <br />The video then shows one of the suspects running back to the victims and pulling on Byrne’s shirt which reveals a pool of blood underneath his face. <br /> <br />The suspect then runs off again down the street. <br /> <br />Curran got a broken nose for his troubles, while Byrne was transported to University Medical Center where he remained in critical condition on Monday. <br /> <br />Dejuan Paul, 21, turned himself into police on Monday shortly after authorities released surveillance footage of the incident. Police are still looking for the other three suspects.
