St. Patrick’s Day is known for green garb and green beer, and sometimes bad behavior.

Over the weekend, one man says he was attacked after stepping in and standing up to racist bullies.

Marti Murphy from Michigan now has a black eye and a lump on the back of his head. He was attacked Saturday afternoon after the St. Patrick’s Day parade in downtown Chicago.

Murphy was among the hundreds of thousands of party-goers near Michigan and Wacker when he saw a group of six white men hitting two black women and yelling racial slurs.

“As the guy hits the lady she falls on the ground and the guys says ‘white power’ and a bunch of other people in the crowd go ‘white power,’” Murphy said.

He says no one was standing up for the women, so he did and was beat up for it.
