They were asked to leave the bar, but instead waited outside for their victims.

"Several people got kicked out of the bar this evening and waited for the first two people to come out of the bar and basically jumped them," said Stacie Miller of the Osceola County Sherriff's Office.

Police say the two victims were repeatedly beaten with belt buckles in the parking lot in front of numerous eyewitnesses. Investigators are not saying much about the incident that happened inside that sparked the violence. Two men are in the hospital and their six attackers are behind bars.

"We arrested the people that caused the altercation. They've gone to jail. Our job is done," said Miller.

The six suspects were charged with assault the two individuals are stable and recovering with non-life threatening injuries.
