A unidentified girl was brutally beaten and robbed by a group of almost 20 teenagers after they chased her near Utica Avenue on Thursday.

The NYPD released footage of the shocking attack which was captured by security cameras.
Authorities said the incident began around 4.10pm when the victim was approached by a group of unidentified individuals in front of 216 Utica Avenue.
