The six young men can be seen punching and kicking the teenage victim while a seventh young man filmed the attack while flashing a symbol with his hand, as shown in a video shared by the NYPD.

While the attackers’ faces were somewhat obscured in the video, four of them were captured clearly in other images shared by the NYPD.

The 14-year-old victim, whose identity was not disclosed required medical treatment after the attack, according to the NYPD.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams launched a new safety program aimed at reducing violent crime in the subway system following a string of violent attacks. The program, which began Feb. 18, involves increased police patrols in “high-priority” areas and the removal of the mentally ill and homeless individuals inhabiting the city’s public transportation system.
