WARNING: The video you'll see below is disturbing. Viewer discretion is advised.
BROOKLYN (WITI) -- A cell phone camera was rolling as a 15-year-old girl was savagely beaten to the ground by other teenagers inside a Brooklyn McDonald's restaurant. The video shows others standing by -- watching and cheering.
The fight broke out inside a McDonald’s near a high school on Monday afternoon, March 9th.
The video shows a girl in blue swing at one of the teens. That girl is soon outnumbered by her target’s friends. The 15-year-old girl is relentlessly pummeled while trying to throw punches.
She is eventually thrown to the ground, and the girls kick and stomp on her head -- as a crowd of rowdy teens cheer and do nothing to stop the attack. The victim is left lying under a table, and is carried by fellow teens and placed on a bench.
“The tenacity of placing something on video to shoot a young lady being beat down by six or seven young women is ludicrous in our community,” community activist Tony Herbert told FOX6's sister station PIX11.
The teenage victim suffered two black eyes and bruises to her head, police sources said. They’ve reviewed the video with officials at the nearby high school, but say the victim and her family have yet to file a complaint.
"The safety of my employees and customers is my top priority. In keeping with my restaurant policy, my employees contacted the police at the onset of this situation. As part of the Flatbush community, I will continue to work with the NYPD and community leaders to ensure the safety of customers. Since this is now a under police investigation it would be inappropriate for me to comment further."
