“Dear PoPville,
On Sunday 9/14 at approx 4pm, I was walking down Girard and 14th. A young kid, maybe 14 or 15 was riding his bike in front of the basketball courts. A bunch of kids (at least 10-15 kids) were playing basketball and decided to try and knock out the bike rider. They threw a basketball at his head and knocked him off his bike. He yelled “you shouldn’t be doing that!” and one of the kids on the basketball court yelled back “you can’t tell us what to do!”
Then all of the kids charged and surrounded the boy on his bike. They were beating him up, hitting him in the face repeatedly with basketballs, pushing him to the ground. I ran up and yelled “THAT’S ENOUGH!” The boy jumped on his bike and tried to flee. All of the kids chased him down 14th street. I waited with another witness and gave a description to police, but by then they were all gone. Hopefully the basketball court has security cameras. The kids were very young. Some looked to be as young as 8 or 9 years old. Such a shame. It was a very scary experience. Such a sudden violent mob attack for apparently no reason at all.“
