Moment group of teenagers in Queens ruthlessly beat up on helpless boy in daylight brawl

A group of teens were caught on cellphone video savagely beating a fellow teen as they were walking along a street in Queens.

The brawl occurred in the Long Island City area of the New York borough at about 3:30pm on Wednesday, close to LaGuardia Community College and saw a 14-year-old student set upon by a group of angry teens.

In several frames of the footage a knife can be seen with the attacker pummeling his victim repeatedly.

The NYPD later described how the 14-year-old was assaulted by five ‘unknown males’ who proceeded to punch the teen several times in the head and body. 

Incredibly, despite the violence on display, the boy was not stabbed during the vicious assault. He was however left with bruises together with cuts to his ears and arms.

The suspect who was armed with the shank knife was can be seen wearing a backpack with shark teeth printed on the back.

No arrests have yet been made and ‘the investigation is ongoing,’ the NYPD said.

 An NYC teacher told the New York Post how the brawl broke out outside a Department of Education building at 30-20 Thomson Avenue in Long Island City.

The address is home to three high schools consisting of Bard Early College, High School of Applied Communication, and Academy of Finance and Enterprise.

Crime in New York City has been running rampant, up overall by 31.8 per cent on last year, with robbery up a shocking 35.5 per cent 

Murders and the number of shooting victims were down 14.4 and 13.6 percent respectively.

The city’s transit system appears to be bearing the brunt of surging crime, with about 1,865 reports so far in 2022, a 41.7 percent spike from last year. 

Last month, Gov. Hochul defeated Republican congressman Lee Zeldin, an ally of Donald Trump, despite his campaign focus on the fear of violent crime.

Hochul had been expected to win in a state where there are more than twice as many registered Democrats as Republicans.

But Zeldin made the race competitive, closing in on Hochul in the final weeks and appearing to spur her to speak more about public safety.

In the midterms this year, voters have voiced frustrations like stubborn inflation and a shaky economy, but in New York, concerns about crime took precedence.
