This version from someone in the mob shows the coup de grace rock to the head and someone stealing his wallet from his back pocket.

The full story is he assumed they would loot his store and ran aggressively with sword towards someone and hit him and then they beat him. IF YOURE GOING TO USE VIOLENCE THEN EXPECT IT RETURNED pic.twitter.com/44gq2Bf31Y

Dallas Morning News reporter Cassandra Jaramillo posted to Twitter what she was told by the Dallas police:

“DPD source tells me man who was seen getting attacked in a graphic viral video by a group of protesters is in bad shape, but hanging on. His body was literally twisted from getting stomped on and kicked. Happened near House of Blues. Working to get more info #DallasProtests”

“Dallas Police spokesman tells me the victim of the attack is in stable condition and was transported to a hospital. Police say at this time they can not confirm he was defending a business being looted. His identity has not been released at this time”

“More from DPD: the victim was carrying a machete to allegedly “protect his neighborhood from protesters.” The victim confronted protesters while holding the machete and was subsequently assaulted by the protesters. He remains in stable condition”
