Shocking moment gang of more than 10 thugs batter lone woman, 19, as she lay defenceless in the street
THIS is the terrifying moment a defenceless young woman was battered by a gang of vicious thugs.
Footage shows the victim, 19, being savagely beaten by around 10 people in South London as she lay in the street.
The mob can be seen knocking the woman to the ground and then laying into her with boots and fists as she tries desperately to protect her face and head.
She was attacked from all sides on Saturday at around 10pm.
Cops confirmed that they attended the scene and the crowd fled as they arrived.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: “Officers attended and it was reported that a 19-year-old woman had been assaulted by another woman.
“She was taken to hospital where her injuries were assessed as not life threatening.”
