"It's become a big deal because of the video,'' O'Brien said of the attack.The video shows at least five males, including a one wearing a black mask who appeared to possibly be the ringleader, punching the victim multiple times.At least once, the victim falls and blood can be seen on his lip but they keep after him, kicking him to the body and head when he is lying on the snow-covered ground.The victim eventually gets up and appears to be trying to reason with the attackers, but the beating continues. Finally, the teen sees an opening and takes off running, but the suspects follow him down the alley.According to a law enforcement source, the robbers took $180 from him and the incident is being classified as a "strongarm robbery.''O'Brien said there was nothing to indicate the victim is a student.As of late Monday, no one was in custody, but Wentworth Area detectives were continuing their investigation.(source)UPDATE:The video was posted on YouTube and removed twice. But a Reddit page on the attack drew more than 500 comments. Many even provided the names of those allegedly involved in the beating.Community activist Andrew Holmes says social media is a useful tool in solving the crime.“It was just disgusting, but I’m glad that the people are calling the Chicago Police Department, and posting information on video and on YouTube,” Holmes said.In fact, police found out about the beating because so many people called them and showed them the YouTube video.McCarthy said charges will come shortly against the six suspects now being held, and the other two wanted people are expected to surrender.(source)EDIT: Separated comments to reduce clutternessEDIT2: Fixed video.
