BRONX - A girl with flaming red hair and a bright red jacket led a crew of 10 teenagers who beat a woman for her iPhone. 


At around 3 pm on January 20, a 24-year-old was walking in the vicinity of Sheridan Avenue and Edgewater Road near Charlotte Gardens in the Bronx. She was soon approached by a group of 10 teens including a girl with bright red hair. They proceeded to punch the woman in the face with closed fists. They ripped the woman’s backpack off her, and removed an iPhone 11 and a back pack. 







The woman suffered a laceration to her face but refused medical attention at the scene.

Cops say the crew is composed of two females and eight males ranging in age of 15 and 18.
