The disturbing recording shared on social media Monday night shows a 15-year-old girl being attacked on Chicago’s South Side. In it, the victim is surrounded by at least five other teen girls and a teen boy before she’s punched repeatedly as she screams for help. The alleged attackers range in age from 15 to 18 years old.
Friends of the 15-year-old victim said the group offered to walk with the teen to the CTA Red Line, but said it was all just a set up so they could jump her and videotape the beating.
“It’s very concerning and disgusting that the victim’s so-called friends may be the offenders in this incident,” said Officer Jose Jara, Chicago Police Department.
Police are working to track down the teens involved in the attack as well as the person who stood by and recorded the entire thing. The aunt of two of the teens involved told ABC7 her nieces turned themselves into police and are cooperating.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Area Central detectives at 312-747-8380.
