Brutal Beatdown of the Day: [Trigger warning: Extremely graphic violence and abuse] A coordinated attack by several youths against an Asian teen in Chicago’s Bridgeport neighborhood did not appear to be racially motivated, according to police.
Six teenagers were brought in for questioning today over the altercation, which took place in an alley behind an elementary school.
In footage of the assault posted to YouTube, the 17-year-old victim can be heard pleading with his masked assailants to stop. One of the attackers tells the boy he had “f*cked up.”
According to the official police report, the gang robbed the kid of $180 and left him bloodied and bruised. He was treated at Mercy Hospital and Medical Center for multiple cuts and other injuries.
It’s become a big deal because of the video,” police News Affairs Officer Daniel O’Brien is quoted as saying.
Charges have yet to be filed.
