    Correction the story went very differently!
    First of all it happened at 2:15
    the boy was on his way to 770
    and it was a GANG of approximately 15 male African American teenage boys. They sent 2 of them to go and attack the child and after punching him in his face and knocking him down to the ground they yelled back to their gang, ” We got him!!!” and received a roaring cheer in respond to a “job well done”
    the boy was crying hysterically and his face/eye is all blown up
    This is total hate and must be stopped for the safety of our children
