Gang Of Men Stomps Woman In Second Violent Attack In Bk In A Week

BEDFORD-STUYVESANT, BROOKLYN — A woman was beaten by a group of men who attacked her on a Bed-Stuy street and took the shoes from her feet, authorities said.

It's the second time in a week a young woman was violently assaulted and robbed of her shoes by a large group in Brooklyn.

Video of the first such assault in Crown Heights on March 5 prompted outrage and at least seven teenagers' arrests. One teen took the 15-year-old victim's shoes from her feet.

Police rounded up those teenage suspects over the weekend, about the time the second victim, 26, started to walk home from a beauty parlor in Bed-Stuy, police said.

The woman ran into a group of "six to eight men" at Patchen Avenue and Bainbridge Street on Sunday at about 3:54 a.m., authorities said. The men punched, kicked and stomped the woman before taking her shoes and bag, which had her wallet inside, police said.

No arrests have been made as of Monday afternoon. The woman was reported to be in stable condition, according to police.

The New York Post first reported the second attack.
