A 14-year-old boy was attacked by a group of unknown individuals in a Brooklyn subway station last week -- a violent and frenzied assault that left him swollen and bruised in the middle of the afternoon, authorities say.
Video of the 4 p.m. March 14 attack on the mezzanine of the Van Siclen subway station was posted to social media, possibly by one of the people involved, based on the vantage point of the footage. One person appears to be saying something directly to the camera but the audio is muted in the video police shared (above).
It shows a group set upon the boy, punching him repeatedly in the head and body.
The attack happened shortly after school would have let out for the day that Monday but it's not clear if the victim or his attackers were students but all of them appear to be young.
The injured boy went to a hospital by private means and is expected to recover.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
