NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – Police arrested three teen girls and are searching for a fourth after two girls were beaten and shocked with a stun gun outside a McDonald’s in Queens this week.
Police said Thursday that a social media spat led to Monday afternoon’s assault in the parking lot of the McDonald’s on Springfield Boulevard in Queens Village.
Cell phone video released by police shows the two victims, 14 and 15 years old, in a defensive position as they’re pummeled by a group of girls in the parking lot around 4:15 p.m.
The girls were punched by multiple attackers, one of whom also shocked them with a “conductive energy weapon” believed to be a stun gun, police said.
The victims were taken to Cohen Children's Medical Center in stable condition. Police said they suffered pain, swelling and bruising to their head and body, as well as scrapes and lacerations.
Three girls—ages 14, 16 and 17—were arrested by police. They were all charged with assault and harassment. The 16-year-old was also charged with criminal possession of a weapon for using the conductive energy weapon.
The NYPD is still searching for a fourth teen, who they said stole a backpack from the victims that contained $50, Apple AirPods and ID. Police released an image of the suspect.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
