The group began punching and kicking the teen. Then one of the attackers smashed a tennis racquet into the victim’s face.  

The attackers then ran away without removing property. 


The victim refused medical treatment at the scene. 


At around 4 pm on December 17, a 13-year-old was attacked in the vicinity of Intervale Avenue and Kelly Street. The crew attacked the teen and forcibly pulled the sweater off the victim. Another attacker struck the teen in the face with a tennis

The attackers then ran off. 


The victim refused medical attention at the scene.
