The video depicted a 15-year-old boy with a noticeable disability trying to escape his assailants before the inevitable beating took place in an NYC Subway located at West 181st Street and Fort Washington Avenue around 5:30 pm on a Friday night. According to reports, all three suspects have been recognized by law enforcement.

Subways in the City of New York have become an infamous setting for a myriad of criminal incidents such as good samaritans getting stabbed, sexual assaults, racially motivated assaults, brawls, and highly bizarre occurrences such as the ill-famed group of female assailants who once donned fluorescent green bodysuits before robbing two teens. One of the latest unethical acts to be captured on camera depicts a group of teens marching an autistic kid around the subway platform as if they were trying to humiliate him before beating him up while yelling racial slurs at him such as "N***er Alert."
Scroll up to watch. But, be warned, the footage is disturbing.
