It happened around 3:30 p.m. Tuesday at Front Street and Clearfield Street in the city's Kensington section.
Fox 29's Jeff Cole spoke to some of the people involved in the incident.
The surveillance video, from a corner convenience store, shows 26-year-old Jose Carrasquillo being chased by at least three people, one of whom hits him several times with what appears to be a bat or large stick. As they chase the man, a crowd gathers. A police officer arrives, and the video cuts off.
Investigators have said they would look at whether to file charges against any of the neighbors. None had been filed as of Wednesday afternoon.
