DENVER (CBS4) — Investigators with the Denver Police Department are asking for the public’s help to identify the suspect or suspects involved in an attack outside a LoDo bar that left a transgender woman with severe injuries.

“We’re just out trying to live our lives and have fun with our peers, be with our friends, just live our lives and people just can’t seem to see us that way,” said Amber Nicole.

She says she was harassed as she was leaving a bar downtown just around 1:20 A.M. Sunday, April 28. Cell phone video shows Amber almost gets in the car to go home, but then she goes back toward the bar. You don’t see the attack, only her friend helping her in to the car.
