“That this little girl could’ve lost her life; it’s really sad,” and it’s difficult not to agree after watching the video of the suspects in the crowd kicking and stomping on the girl alternately.
The next day, New York City police said that five suspects—all of whom were minors—turned themselves in.
Armed with the video, the police claimed to be looking for the other suspects in the brutal gang attack.
Although they did not specify the nature of the prior event, investigators believe the attack was a reprisal for it.
A video shot from a different angle at the crossroads shows the crowd starting to disperse after viciously stomping the girl who was attacked.
Unfortunately, one suspect can be seen in that video yanking the girl’s sneakers from her feet as she lies bleeding and slumped on the sidewalk. The shoe thief is shown on camera grinning and laughing as he makes his escape.
