Brooklyn

It was Mayhem inside Brooklyn Bridge Park yesterday as police were forced to clear sections of the park for a large disorderly group.

A 15-year-old girl (Brooklyn resident) was attacked by seven unknown teens who punched and kicked her as she was leaving the park. She was jumped after getting into a fight with a female black inside the park at 3:30 p.m. near Doughty Street and Furhman Streets.

They knocked her to the ground, beat her and took her I-phone and metro card.

The victim was taken to Downstate Medical Center for treatment for facial injuries and released.

A few hours later two teens were robbed at gun point inside the park near Columbia Street and Jorelemon Streets. 

The 16 and 18 year-old victims were inside the park at 6:00pm when they were approached by a group of 12 males that demanded their property. 

One assailant kicked the 18-year-old in the back and another punched the other victim in the face. One member of the gang pulled out a silver pistol and repeatedly demanded property.

They took a belt and an I phone from the victims and fled.

Police have since stepped up patrols in and around the park.
