EXCLUSIVE: Full Video Shows Lead-Up To Brutal Attack Of Elderly Pro-Lifers By Man Who Dodged Prison

The man who avoided jail time after brutally beating two elderly pro-life advocates in Baltimore accused them of bothering “vulnerable people” seconds before attacking them, according to surveillance footage obtained by The Daily Wire.

Patrick Brice, 28, was sentenced by Baltimore Judge Yvette Bryant on Thursday to just one year of home confinement and three years of probation for attacking 73-year-old Mark Crosby and 84-year-old Richard Schaefer as they stood outside Planned Parenthood doing pro-life sidewalk counseling. Crosby was left with serious injuries to his face and multiple fractures.

Before attacking the elderly men, Brice engaged in a heated argument with Schaefer where he told him to “quit bothering vulnerable people.” He then tackled the octogenarian into a potted plant and pushed Crosby to the ground before punching and kicking him in the head.

A four-minute video of the attack obtained by The Daily Wire shows the entire incident unfold. The Baltimore Police Department previously released about a one-minute video with various angles of the attack spliced together.

The footage shows both Schaefer and Crosby outside of the abortion facility alongside Planned Parenthood “escorts,” people who guide women seeking abortions into the facility. Brice walks by on the sidewalk before turning back and walking up to speak with Schaefer.

Brice shakes the hands of the Planned Parenthood escorts before continuing to debate Schaefer. Only bits and pieces of audio are discernible in the video, but it appears that Schaefer and Brice were engaged in a theological back-and-forth.

“Say you beat your dick, buddy, say you masturbate,” and “you did it once, repent, and you’ll never do it again. Get the hell out of here,” Brice appears to say in the video. Then he accuses him of harassing “vulnerable people” and Schaefer responded. According to the American Center for Law and Justice, Schaefer said “it’s a child” in response to Brice’s comments about vulnerable people.

Brice then tackled Schaefer to the ground, breaking a potted plant. Crosby ran up and was forced to the ground and punched and kicked in the head. Brice walked away from the scene and several of the Planned Parenthood escorts ran into their building.

Schaefer is on the ground for about a minute before he attempts to stand up before bystanders tell him to not move before medical help arrives. Crosby was unconscious for about 12 seconds before he got up on his knees. With blood trickling down his face, Crosby walks into a building neighboring the Planned Parenthood, where he receives medical support.

During sentencing, Brice’s lawyer claimed that he believed that Schaefer had made a racially charged comment. Schaefer denied making any such comment or doing anything to provoke the attack. While prosecutors wanted Brice to serve 10 years in prison, Bryant gave him just a year of home detention, and will allow him to travel for work.

Putin Says He’ll End War With Ukraine With One Major Concession

Russian President Vladimir Putin told the Trump administration earlier this week that he would end the war with Ukraine in exchange for the region in eastern Ukraine known as the Donbas, The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday.

The WSJ cited European and Ukrainian officials, who were briefed by Trump and his special envoy, Steve Witkoff, on discussions with Putin. Putin reportedly made the offer to Witkoff during their meeting in Moscow on Wednesday.

Russia wants full control of Ukraine’s Donetsk and Luhansk regions, along with the Crimean Peninsula that Russia annexed in 2014. Russian forces are now mostly in control of Donetsk and Luhansk, but Ukrainian troops are still fighting back in some areas in the regions.

European officials told the WSJ that they were concerned over Putin’s proposal, saying that it could be the Russian dictator’s way of avoiding punishment from President Trump, who is expected to impose secondary tariffs on Russia. European leaders also questioned whether Putin would be willing to give up fighting for Ukraine’s Zaporizhia and Kherson regions, which are southwest of Donetsk and Luhansk.

Trump announced on Friday that he would be meeting with Putin on August 15 in Alaska. “The highly anticipated meeting between myself, as President of the United States of America, and President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, will take place next Friday, August 15, 2025, in the Great State of Alaska. Further details to follow. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” the president wrote on Truth Social.

Trump said at the White House earlier on Friday that a summit with Putin had been in the works, and a location for talks had been decided upon. Some of Trump’s stipulations for the summit include that no European leaders be present and that Putin agree to also meet with Zelensky.

“Putin, I believe, wants to see peace, and [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky wants to see peace,” he said.

The president added that there would be “some swapping” of territories between Russia and Ukraine.

“It’s very complicated, but we’re going to get some back and we’re going to get some switched … to the betterment of both,” he added.

Trump’s deadline for Russia to reach a peace deal with Ukraine ended on Friday, unless he agrees to extend it, with a summit between Putin and Zelensky appearing more likely. Asked whether the deadline was still firm, Trump replied, “We’re going to see what [Putin] has to say. It’s going to be up to him.”

The president ramped up the pressure on Putin to end the conflict, which has resulted in an estimated hundreds of thousands of deaths over the past three years, as Putin continued to launch drone and missile attacks targeting Ukrainian civilian centers. Last week, Trump also repositioned two nuclear submarines after former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev threatened that Trump’s ultimatums to Putin were a “step towards war.”
