DART Attack Suspect Defends Actions; ‘I Don't Feel, Like, Any Kind of Sorry About It'

One of three people in custody in connection with the videotaped assault of a man on board a DART train said Monday that he doesn't feel "any kind of sorry about it" because he was only protecting his family.

"It's my brother, my family. I'm here to protect them and that's what I'm going to do and I feel like I did what I was supposed to do as a brother," said Remon Hendrix, 23.

Hendrix and his 21-year-old brother, Jakobi, were both arrested last week on assault charges after the beating involving the two and several others, was caught on DART surveillance footage and cellphone video. The video -- including images showing some of the suspects hitting the victim with a skateboard -- had been viewed nearly 200,000 times by Monday afternoon.

Jakobi Hendrix gave an interview to NBC 5 last Friday where he apologized for his role in the attack and said if he'd known how the fight started he would have pulled his brother off of the victim.

A man arrested in connection with a mob of people who attacked a DART passenger Sunday spoke from the Dallas County Courthouse on Friday. Jakobi Hendrix, 21, said he jumped into the fight to protect his brother and was upset days later when he learned how the fight started.

On Monday, DART police announced a third arrest in the case -- an unnamed juvenile with distinctive red hair seen in a video published on social media.
