We, like everyone else, were shocked at the brutal and barbaric video of a gang of teens beating down a girl on the streets of New York City. Well it didn’t take long for suspects to turn themselves in:
Police were questioning five suspects and have a motive in the vicious mob beating of a 15-year-old girl on a Brooklyn street, law enforcement sources said Friday.
Cops were grilling the teenage boys in Crown Heights Friday after a group of teens savagely attacked the girl Thursday — as retaliation for a fight she got into earlier in the day, according to the sources.
They came in with their parents – and I bet it’s because they knew eventually they’d get caught with all that video around:
The five boys turned themselves in with their parents earlier Friday, according to a law enforcement source. Their names and ages were not immediately clear and no charges have been filed as of early Saturday morning.
Here’s more about the motive:
The caught-on-camera beating unfolded after the girl allegedly beat up another girl earlier in the day at school, according to the sources.
The group of teenage attackers were allegedly friends with the girl who the victim had tussled with, law enforcement sources said.
SO, at least according to the animals that beatdown the girl, she’s not completely innocent either. I’m not sure anyone should take their word for it though. We’ll have to see what the NYPD concludes before we draw any absolute conclusions, but there better be some charges pressed.
You can bet there will be more coming out about this horrible case.
