A video released on Friday by the New York Police Department in which twenty male teenagers beat another 15-year-old boy in the street has unleashed the controversy and convictions in the city.

Police broadcast the video on one of their Twitter accounts to ensure that the assault took place on Thursday in a street in the New York neighborhood of Brooklyn.

Through a security camera you can see how a girl - with a pixelated face - falls to the floor and then a teenager kicks her.

Immediately afterwards, an avalanche of young people arrives at the place, one jumps over it with the feet while she tries to protect herself with her legs and in the fetal position and the rest of the aggressors begin to kick and punch her for several seconds before fleeing.

The images show that one of the children steals the girl's sneakers , which according to official sources quoted by the Daily News newspaper is stable in a hospital.

Brooklyn District Mayor Eric Adams called for the immediate opening of an investigation as well as "a harsh response" to the "aggressive viral acts" experienced in the district.

In addition to this aggression, in which all young people are African-American, a video taken in the Canarise neighborhood - also in Brooklyn - has also been broadcast on social media this week, in which eight police officers reduce and beat a person while he shouts "I have not committed any crime" and asks what they are doing.

In fact, the video of the aggressive police action was posted in response to the message spread by the police station of the 77th district, which calls for citizen collaboration to identify "the individuals responsible for this brutal robbery and group assault."

"I ask that the service of all the agents involved in Wednesday's incident in Canarise be modified until a full investigation is carried out," Adams said he insisted that "innocent people should not be abused by agents of the Police or by young people. "

In this regard, he promised to launch a series of events in the coming days to bring together police, communities and young people to talk about the importance of "reducing violence."

According to police sources cited by the Daily News, the youth also stole the child's credit card and mobile phone.
