The NYPD are investigating and seeking the public’s help after a 15-year-old girl was brutally attacked and robbed in Brooklyn on Thursday afternoon.
Security footage of the incident might be difficult for some to watch.
According to police, the teen was approached by a group of boys around 4 p.m. in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. The group of boys, their ages are unknown at this point, began to chase her before they jumped on her and beat her.
At one point it appeared that a dozen had gathered around the 15-year-old as she lied on the sidewalk.
The boys also stole the victim’s sneakers, phone, and debit card.
The teen was taken to a local hospital where she was treated for bruising and swelling to her face.
PIX11 reported that the incident was in retaliation for previous incident, but the NYPD did not make details of the previous encounter clear.
If you have any information about this brutal attack, you’re asked to contact the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPs (8477).
Share this because someone out there knows who these boys are and they must be held accountable.
