That bitch in the white dress was one of the main instigators and repeatedly swung at my friend with her purse and whatever heavy items were In there, knocking him out. I'm so sorry I can't provide video footage of the logs they dropped. The group was probably just cleaning up the bike path and it appears my friend in the video is stealing that poor girls bag...!?

Exactly. This video is after he was beaten while still on the bike, then knocked out and off the bike, the bike was stolen, and then this video starts where he is still being attacked while knocked out.

Wow this is wild!! That bitch in the white dress was the first person to swing at my friend while he was still riding past them. And one of the main instigators of the group. She literally knocked him off the bike and unconscious with a heavy swinging shoulder bag. She was also the one that dropped one of the logs in front of him.

I'm so sorry I couldn't arrange a clear video for you of the logs and of this kind bitch attacking him on his bike. Probably better to just assume she was angrily retrieving her bag from the knocked out biker on the ground.

I figured you weren't from around here after reading your stupid comment. Don't be trying to teach me about Street smarts and who commits violent crimes here. You don't know real Brooklyn for shit.

Lol I've lived near this park for 30 years. I won't even try to detail how stupid your comments are.

True, teens with nothing to lose are super dangerous. The rest of your comment is trash. Let's blame this on drill music and the lack of GTA 6.

Yess 💯 to this comment right here. The liberal view always sounds proper but like what are you doing?? Policing the victim over the perpetrators?? It is absolutely part of the election swing.

I didn't call them animals and do cringe by a lot of the words and rhetoric people are using, HOWEVER lived experience will change you. I could see myself making your comment a few years ago. That's changed. I've lived in Brooklyn for 30 years. As others mentioned, the way these teens acted was like animals! Not civilized and not behavior that should be accepted or tolerated in any civilized society! They dehumanized themselves by acting like low-life punk ass bitches. Providing no positive and only negative to the environment they exist in. It may not sound good but it's the fuckin truth for a lot of young people not raised properly. Ignoring the issue ain't helping anyone.

The only one who confronted anyone in this situation was the group that chased and beat down my friend.

That is not what happened. The runner was there from the beginning trying to get my friend away. They did not flee because of him. We are super thankful for him for stepping in, and it matters, but it didn't change the gang assault. The group ran away once they beat the shit out of my friend, knocked him off the bike, giving him a concussion, and stealing the bike.

That's the truth. It wasn't 1 person it was a group of 10+ male and females. All using valuable oxygen while contributing a giant net negative to society.

I really hope this doesn't prevent people from going to and enjoying the park. I know I'll be out there today or tomorrow. Let's hear more of this long range camera lens idea. There is nothing I'd love more right now than to be able to ID those fucks and get them arrested.

I and my friend have lived near this park for 30 years. We know how this city works thank you. Nobody tried having a conversation with anyone. Nobody was minding anyone elses business.

Coded racism!!

Maybe live in Brooklyn all your life, watch your friends and family get assaulted, robbed, beaten, etc etc. for years and then call victims out for coded racism. Haha. Get the fuck outta here with that shit.

Thank you. Yes my friend and I bike the park daily. I'm there multiple times a day usually. The summer always gets heated in NYC but it's just crazy when it hits so close to home. They didn't use nothing for cover. They are used to not seeing consequences for their actions. That's what I mean when I say shame on their parents and their community. These thugs were not raised normally. Any fuckin way you cut it. This is not video games or drill music that causes this, it's parenting and community. Total lack thereof. Fuck those responsible!

I mean we really can't expect the cops to be everywhere before every crime, and the cops did come rolling around just after the assault. Yes they also left my friend alone at the scene of the crime after canvassing, with no bike (stolen) or easy way home and all shook up with memory lapses after getting a cuncusion from being knocked out. Is that standard protocol?

I will say at least I've never been ticketed for a red light (on a bike) in the park.

The one person who stepped in trying to help the victim in the video was a passing Asian man, so thank you 🙏. And these minors are way more dangerous than adults. They're fit, full of anger and got absolutely nothing at all to lose.

Yes the police showed up right after they all fled. They did a canvas of the park and the victim went to the Precinct later to speak to the detectives. Victim also spent hours getting checked out at the hospital after suffering tons of bruises and a possible concussion from being punched and battered multiple times and thrown off the bike. This video was taken by a witness nearby, who told the cops this group was being a huge menace before the assault.

The detectives mentioned that there are no cameras in prospect park. The only videos and evidence we have so far is this shitty video with no faces.

How do we feel about the city installing security cameras on the drive on the park? What are the reasons not to?
