Officials announced the arrest of teens accused of randomly attacking people in Center City back on Nov. 19, 2024.
Police are searching for seven teens who they say assaulted three victims in separate incidents in different parts of Center City. One of the victims sustained a concussion. Police say the suspects are between the ages 15 and 17, and they could face several aggravated assault charges. NBC10's Brian Sheehan has the details.
“How these victims were chosen by the group of assailants is anyone’s guess," Philadelphia Police Captain Jason Smith said. “What we observe on video is that this group, they approach their victims from behind. They punch them, punch them in the back of the head and they knock them to the ground, and they proceed to attack them as a group.”
The six teenagers -- who are between the ages of 13 and 15 -- will be charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and conspiracy.
