Beware if you visit Wilmington.


Eleven men have been assaulted near bars in Wilmington, prompting police to warn those who go out drinking late at night.

The men, including seven members of the military, were attacked in downtown Wilmington in Eastern North Carolina around the time bars closed for the night, the city’s police department said Wednesday in a Facebook post.

“Police have now identified four victims who may have been sexually assaulted,” officials say.

“The common thing about all 11 of these is a cognitive impairment where the victims don’t remember anything,” Evangelous said, according to the Wilmington Star News. “All they remember is being in a bar and that they end up waking up the next day somewhere in the downtown area not remembering anything that happened.”
