Two teens have been charged with gang assault following a vicious attack on an off-duty firefighter at a park in New York City. The teens were part of a large group of people setting off fireworks at Juniper Valley Park in Queens last Friday (July 23) night.
The off-duty firefighter was walking his dog and confronted the group, asking them to stop lighting the fireworks.
The New York Post. "I was walking my dog. They just picked me out and approached me."
Shocking video captured the moment the teens turned on the man and started brutally assaulting him as bystanders stood by and filmed. At one point, somebody broke a glass bottle over his head.
