Seven more teens arrested in the brutal attack and stealing of a 15-year-old girl who was\u00a0beaten and stamped\u00a0on a Brooklyn sidewalk before Air Jordan sneakers snatched off her feet, the NYPD said Sunday.<\/p>\n
The arrests brought to 12 the number of alleged attackers charged in the horrific, caught-on-camera incident in Crown Heights last week.<\/p>\n
The defendants are all males between 14 and 17, except for one 14-year-old girl, according to cops.<\/p>\n
Seven other suspects are still being sought, according to remarks made in court by a prosecutor on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Disturbing surveillance video shows the girl being punched and kicked by a lone assailant as she lay on a sidewalk, only to have a horde of other teens race up and join in the merciless attack, which authorities say took place on Utica Avenue around 4:10 p.m. Thursday.<\/p>\n
One boy, wearing boots, even leaped into the air and landed on the defenseless victim with both feet, the video shows.<\/p>\n
The mother of one teen charged in the incident said Saturday that she was \u201cbeyond shocked\u201d when the clip popped up in her social media feed.<\/p>\n
When I saw the video, I wanted to kill him with my bare hands, Donna Howell, 42, said of her 14-year-old son Alex.<\/p>\n
If I was that girl\u2019s father, I would want to kill all of them.<\/p>\n
Alex and four other males, ages 14 through 17, were busted Friday on charges of robbery and gang assault, cops said.<\/p>\n
Four of them were arraigned Saturday and released without bail, subject to curfews that begin as early as 3 p.m.<\/p>\n
In court, Assistant District Attorney Jordan Rossman said 14 other suspects were being sought.<\/p>\n
Four males two age 14, a 15-year-old and a 16-year-old were charged Sunday with robbery and gang assault, cops said.<\/p>\n
A 14-year-old girl and two boys, ages 15 and 16, were also arrested on identical charges Saturday, cops said.<\/p>\n
