NEW YORK (PIX11) -- Police are using a cellphone video to try to identify two males who attacked a 16-year-old girl on the subway last week, according to the NYPD.
The victim was walking on Nostrand Avenue on her way to the subway station around 9 p.m. on Feb. 27 when two males threw water and soda, according to police. She got on a No. 2 train at the Newkirk Avenue–Little Haiti station and the suspects followed her onto the train, police said.
One of the suspects then threw water in the victim's face. The girl pushed the suspect and the attacker punched and smacked her, police said. A second suspect then jumped up and kicked the girl in the face, according to authorities.
The suspects got off the train at the Flatbush Avenue station. No arrests have been made, according to police.
