One of four men wanted in connection with the videotaped beating and armed robbery of a French Quarter tourist last month has been arrested, New Orleans police said Monday (Nov. 10).

Edward Doyle, 27, was booked with armed robbery after an NOPD narcotics detective spotted him in the doorway of a Bourbon Street nightclub Monday around 3 a.m. Police said Det. Jason Collins recognized Doyle from a video of the mid-October incident and detained him with the help of two other detectives working in the French Quarter.

Doyle is one of four suspects police say surrounded a 27-year-old man walking by himself Oct. 12 around 4:30 a.m. in the 800 block of St. Louis Street. The victim was thrown to the ground, punched, kicked and robbed at gunpoint of his wallet and a Cartier gold watch worth more than $10,000, police said.

Police obtained an arrest warrant Oct. 17 for another suspect in the case, 23-year-old Bruce Jones. The other two suspects have not been identified and remain, with Jones, at large, police said.

Investigators said Doyle initially identified himself by the false name of “Raymond.” But police said Doyle eventually provided his real name and police said he “confessed to detectives his role in the incident.” An arrest report said Doyle identified himself as one of the attackers in the video, and also said he was caught holding “a clear bag containing a white powder” that was submitted to the NOPD’s crime lab for narcotics testing.

Doyle’s bond was set Monday afternoon at $50,000. Court records show Doyle was sentenced to one year for driving a stolen auto in January 2004, five years for auto theft in January 2005, two years for drug distribution in January 2009 and got a concurrent six month sentence for escape in June 2010.

Authorities ask anyone with information on Jones or the case to contact NOPD 8^thDistrict detectives at 504.658.6020 or Crimestoppers at 504.822.1111. Video of the incident can be viewed below.

Three men armed with a baseball bat violently attacked a man in the French Quarter just before 4 a.m. Sunday.

The victim, whom FOX 8 is not naming, said he considers himself street savvy, but the attack on Dauphine near At. Ann tested him like never before.

“I’ve got 12 staples,” he said, pointing to the metal clips in his head.

This victim said the three were walking in the other direction.

“They were walking up, [we] did the nod thing,” he said, “and then he cold-cocked me in the head.”

The attackers took turns hitting the victim.

“Two guys were doing the hitting the other was doing the watching,” he said.

The victim was struck six times.

“This wasn’t their first time,” the victim said. ” I probably wasn’t the first person they robbed that night.”

As he fought for his life, the victim said there was a cabbie who witnessed the attack, but did nothing.

“The taxi kept driving,” he said.

Police advise victims to give their assailants what they want, but this victim wasn’t so inclined.

“The only time I hit the ground was when they went for my wallet, so I sat on my wallet,” he said.

And in spite of the bloody assault, the attackers never got what the wallet they wanted.

“I didn’t give up,” he said.

The victim’s job doesn’t allow him to say off the street in the early morning hours, but he says he will change his behavior.

“If you’re going to be out in the quarter, don’t go alone,” he said.

He says police response was quick. The attack comes as the French Quarter Management District finalizes plans to increase security in the Quarter by Oct. 26.

“If a resident can’t live here without getting jumped, what about tourists?” the victim asked.

FOX 8 interviewed a group of Minnesota tourists who were unaware of the attack in front of their guest house.

“It’s disheartening, but I’m not that surprised,” said Racquel Bunny.

The victim hopes police catch the suspects.

“I have some faith that they will,” he said.

In the meantime he said he will keep his guard up and try to walk in groups, and he advises others to do the same.

The French Quarter Management District hoped to send a cooperative endeavor agreement to the city on Monday in order to have as many as three additional police officers patrolling Bourbon Street at night before Halloween.

That plan would not beef up patrols where Sunday’s attack happened, but proponents say it’s a start.

Surveillance video captures a violent assault and armed robbery in the French Quarter as several bystanders watch nearby.

The incident happened around 4:30 a.m. Sunday in the 800 block of St. Louis.

A passerby is stopped by a group of men and pushed up against a wall. As the victim attempts to flee, he is thrown to the ground. Multiple men kick and punch the man while he’s down.

Police state that the suspects stole the victim’s wallet and cell phone. The victim tells police one of the suspects was armed with a black handgun.

Detectives were able to obtain surveillance video of the incident. Anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact detectives at (504) 658-6707 or Crime Stoppers at (504) 822-1111.
