Three 16-year-old girls assaulted a 15-year-old girl, stomping, beating, and even tasing her inside a subway station in Queens last week, according to prosecutors and sources cited by the NY Post.
The sophomore from William Cullen Bryant High School was on her way to the nearby 46th Street M and R train station around 3 p.m. on June 2 when the vicious group reportedly followed her. Queens DA Melinda Katz described the incident as
“an outrageous display of bullying and brutality.”
According to the DA’s office, the group of teens cornered the girl on the staircase, repeatedly punching, kicking, and stomping on her head, face, and body, tasing her in the process and attempting to steal her backpack. The victim was hospitalized following the attack but is now on the path to recovery, officials reported.
Two of the suspects, both juniors at the same school and residents of Elmhurst, were arrested and arraigned on Tuesday. They face charges of attempted gang assault and attempted robbery related to the incident, prosecutors stated. They have been placed in an intensive community monitoring program under probation supervision, according to the DA’s office.
Judge Bruna DiBiase has scheduled their next court appearance for June 18. The third 16-year-old suspect was arrested on Thursday. If convicted, they could face up to 15 years in prison.
“This will not be acceptable behavior here in Queens and I will hold students accountable for this behavior to the extent the law allows. We are grateful that the victim is recovering. The investigation is continuing into the conduct of other individuals,”
Katz said in a statement.
