Shocking video captures the moment a team of baby-faced assailants beat a 14-year-old boy at a train station in Brooklyn earlier this month.
The clip – released by police late Tuesday – shows several suspects taking the teenager into a corner of the mezzanine at the Van Siclen Avenue train station in East New York just before noon. 16.00 on March 14 and repeatedly kicks and hits him in the head and body.
A member of the group approached him and asked if he knew anyone else, police said.
Before the victim could respond, the crew began beating him, authorities said.
The teenager – who did not know his attackers – got swelling and bruising and sought his own medical attention, police said.
The footage was posted on social media, according to police. A member of the crew is shown in the foreground apparently filming the episode in selfie mode.
A separate surveillance clip shows the suspects leaving the train station. Police were still searching for them on Wednesday.
